BIO
Saito began her training at School of American Ballet, where she had the privilege of performing at Lincoln Center for three years as a child in George Balanchine’s Nutcracker. She then trained at Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School and Ellison Ballet before joining Washington Ballet as a full scholarship trainee.
In 2015, Saito joined American Repertory Ballet’s company to start her professional career. During her years there, she had the opportunity to perform several principal roles.
Saito joined Nashville Ballet in 2018. Since then, she has performed roles in Paul Vasterling’s Romeo & Juliet, Nashville’s Nutcracker, Cinderella, Fire Bird, and Swan Lake. True to her artistic roots, when she’s not in the studio, Saito enjoys singing and salsa dancing!
