🩰 How It All Began – The Story of Aya Tajimi Ballet Studio

Jul 17, 2025
2 min read

Every studio has a story, and ours is deeply rooted in a passion for teaching, community, and the joy of ballet. Here's a look back at our journey so far:


🌱 May 2017 — The Beginning

Our very first children’s ballet class began under the name TACTBALLET.NY in Eastchester, NY. What started as a small offering quickly grew into something special—filled with laughter, tiny ballet shoes, and big dreams.


🎭 June 2018 — First Recital

We held our first year-end recital at the historic Tarrytown Music Hall. It was a beautiful moment that brought families, students, and the local community together through the power of dance.


👣 September 2018 – A New Chapter

Ms. Aya joined Scarsdale Ballet Studio, where she taught over 50 students annually for the next five years, in both Japanese and English.While on faculty, she:

  • Coached and performed in the Nutcracker

  • Choreographed year-end performances

  • Led Summer Intensive Programs

  • Taught Core Training Classes to help students build strong ballet-ready bodies


🏡 June 2022 – A Decision from the Heart

When Scarsdale Ballet Studio relocated to White Plains, Ms. Aya chose to stay rooted in the Eastchester/Scarsdale area to better serve the community she had come to love.


🌟 September 5, 2022 – A Dream Realized

Aya Tajimi Ballet Studio officially opened on Garth Road in Scarsdale, NY.With a mission to nurture every dancer—whether dancing for joy or training for the stage—the studio became a warm and welcoming home for students of all ages and backgrounds.


đź’– Today

We are proud to continue growing with our students, families, and neighbors. Whether it’s your first plié or your hundredth performance, you are a part of our story.

Thank you for being with us on this journey. We can’t wait to dance into the future together!
