Teen/Adult Program

After four decades of professional training, over 30 years as a performing artist, and 25 years on faculty at ballet conservatories and universities, I spent the last four years pouring everything I’ve learned into creating SUNMI BALLET.

This school is the expression of my life’s work—rooted in tradition, shaped by experience, and driven by a deeply personal vision. At SUNMI BALLET, I’ve built a flexible and strong community that thrives together, using dance as the thread that connects us.

Our programming is designed to develop each student’s unique connection between body, mind, and heart. We teach a clear and relevant curriculum with a focus on alignment, core strength, and individual growth.

My purpose is to help every dancer find their voice—supported, challenged, and embraced through movement. I use my heart to truly see each student, nurturing not just their technique, but the character dance can build: empathy, focus, and expression.

With Love,

“My daughter Tingting has been dancing with SunMi Ballet for two years. I have seen her smile become sweeter and more confident, and her relationships with friends become more harmonious. I’m so grateful to SunMi for her careful cultivation and countless efforts to open such an excellent dance school.”
