There is only one thing I aim for in my ballet class:
To achieve high-quality dancing.
But what does high-quality dancing really mean?
For me, it means listening to your own body with kindness, finding joy in movement itself, continuing to question yourself, and always staying curious.
This is how I want to think about dancing right now.
For more than 30 years, I have worked as a dancer in many different places, with many different people, and through many different styles.
Through all of these experiences — including injuries and everything I learned from them — what I have come to realize again and again is the beauty and depth of classical ballet technique, which is my own root and foundation.
This class is, first of all, training.
Very simply, we work on technique, musicality, footwork, and the beautiful expression of the upper body.
At the same time, through small tips I share, slightly changing the angle from which we think about movement, or using imagination in a different way, you may suddenly find that steps or combinations you once thought were difficult become surprisingly natural and accessible.
I believe those kinds of discoveries and little surprises are also part of the process.
This class is for dancers working in classical ballet and contemporary dance who want to develop a freer, richer body and deepen their artistic expression.
Megumi Eda is a Japanese dancer, dancemaker, filmmaker, and teacher currently based in Berlin.
After participating in the Prix de Lausanne, she was invited to join Hamburg Ballet as its first Japanese dancer. Since then, she has worked internationally for more than 30 years with companies including Hamburg Ballet, Dutch National Ballet, Rambert Dance Company, and Armitage Gone! Dance in New York. As a founding member of Armitage Gone! Dance, she participated in the creation of numerous original works and received the New York Dance and Performance Award (Bessie Award).
Alongside her performing career, Megumi has developed her own choreographic and interdisciplinary practice, creating autobiographical works that combine movement, storytelling, film, and personal experience. Her recent projects have been presented in Europe and internationally.
Drawing from decades of performing, creating, and ongoing research into the body and movement, her teaching focuses on helping dancers develop greater awareness, freedom, and depth in both movement and artistic expression.
