Sara Ito Talks Believing in Herself and Living as a Dancer in L.A.: Billboard Japan Women In Music Interview
The performer spoke to Billboard Japan online from Los Angeles about the beliefs that carried her across the ocean.
Billboard Japan interviewed L.A.-based dancer Sara Ito for its Women in Music series, which celebrates artists who inspire other women through their work. Ito, born in Japan's Ishikawa Prefecture, moved to the U.S. at 16 and now dances with top global artists like NE-YO. She believes dance saved her life and helped her find her true expression. Despite challenges, Ito feels that being a woman has strengthened her career and that gender discrepancies are more pronounced in Japan than in the U.S., where she has faced racism.
