In this lively episode of "Talk About Las Vegas With Ira," Yuka shares her journey from her early dance training in Fukuoka, Japan—where she discovered her passion for dance at just 10 years old—to performing on stages around the world. She talks about the discipline behind her art, how she learned English, and her love of touring and musical theater.
Yuka also reveals her “soul food,” her secret to staying grounded (hint: it involves a portable bathtub), and how she balances life as a performer and Pilates instructor—all with a great sense of humor and an ever-growing curiosity for acting.
Yuka Notsuka is an ensemble dancer from Fukuoka, Japan. Her national tours include Cats, South Pacific, and An American in Paris.
