Yurie Ono is an absolute animal lover born and raised in Japan. Chasing her dream of being vet, she went to a vet school in Japan and had the hardest time remembering all the medicine names. She somehow passed the exam and became a vet but now she is struggling to remember the names for dance moves.

Currently, she is the artistic director/choreographer/lead dancer of Umami Playground Dance Inc., a dancer for Feathers Dance Company, and a regular instructor at PJM Dance NYC, Dreamer Dance NYC, AKF Dance Studio and Evolute Academia of New York.
