A native of Japan, Yuka Iino was three years old when mother saw her dancing to music from a television set, and sent the little girl to ballet school. Ms. Iino never looked back.
Ms. Iino joined the Oregon Ballet Theater in 2003 after having been a principal dancer in the Reiko Yamamoto Ballet Company. (She became a principal dancer at OBT in 2007.) Her major roles while with the OBT include Odette/Odile in Swan Lake and the title role in Possokhov’s Firebird and Raymonda, among others.

A pretty good dancer wasting talents in Oregon... OBT is good... that's about it.
I thought Portland was one of the more artistically sophisicated cities in the West.
