=============
She was born and raised in Fukuoka, Japan to architect Koji Matsunaga and Yasuko, a swimming instructor. Her sister is a Netherlands-based artist who created Takumi Craft Works.
Though starting at the late age of 19, Miyuki was determined to become a professional dancer. After a lot of hard work and countless hours of practice, she became a primary member of the professional dance team M-Trap’s. Miyuki performed with them throughout Japan for eight years, during which time she further developed her skills and abilities as a dancer and singer. She then partnered with two other singers and created the new group Girls-Trap’s, which performed on television and radio and for festivals and other events.
Miyuki attended Seinan Gakuin University, where she had a very active life on campus. She received her degree in Child Educational Development and Psychology. She also received a degree in Museum Studies. As a student she gained experience working for both a genetics research lab and an archeological research lab. She also participated in several extracurricular activities on campus, including conducting the university’s chapel choir. In addition, Miyuki started her own gospel-singing group, which performed for weddings and other special events. At the same time, she honed her skills as an event hostess and master of ceremonies at numerous functions throughout the city of Fukuoka.
Miyuki came to the United States after winning a scholarship to participate in the Winners USA Dance Program which was organized by Tony Selznick, Russell Clark and Barbara Uemura . Later, after backpacking around the U.S. for three months, she moved to Los Angeles. There she started working as an actress in films, television, and theater. She also established herself as a popular bilingual emcee and singer for banquets, concerts, and other events. She also started directing music videos and theatrical musicals.
In 2005, Miyuki created her signature performance art GETA DANCE ART © – a style that blends elements of traditional Japanese dance, modern dance, and chakra vocals combined with live calligraphy and painting, all performed live with music of Pierre Dubé.
She started WAVE studio in Torrance California for dance, yoga, music, art, fitness, karate and healing in 2017.
Among Miyuki’s other activities:
- She is a certified Reiki Master, Tuning Forks Frequencies Master and obtained an International Yoga Alliance Teacher certificate in Rishikesh, India and teaches Yoga in Los Angeles.Her healing sessions are held with Chakra/Meridian/Solfeggio Music Tuning Forks.
- She teaches classes in Yoga, Tuning Forks Frequencies, Vocal training, Art, Acting, Musicals, Children’s ballet, Jazz and Contemporary dance, audition skills, and dance for special needs children and their families. Her classes are under the $1 project, in which $1 per student is donated to reputable charity organizations like Humane Society International, Save the Children, and The Hunger Project.
Miyuki enjoys different forms of art. She spends time drawing, painting, and creating ceramics under the name MIYUKIMOON. She also enjoys writing scripts, graphic designing, taking photos, and shooting and editing videos.
Her goal of life is "Happiness for the World." She dedicates her artistry to supporting children, animals, and the natural earth, as well as to promoting world peace.
