Misa Koide is a Japanese dancer, movement artist and choreographer based in London, UK, and works internationally as a dancer, movement artist and choreographer across film, theatre, commercial, music and independent projects.

She creates a unique style of fusion dance inspired by ballet, contemporary, theatrical performance, street dance, and Japanese traditional dance which she gained from her professional training and experiences performing in theatres, screen and live performances.

​

Misa started dancing in a classical ballet from the age of five in Japan.
She later went on to train at the Northern Ballet School in Manchester, UK, where she also started creating her own choreography. During her studies, she received the Elizabeth Baines-Hewitt Award (1st Prize) at the ISTD’s Elizabeth Baines-Hewitt Awards.

 

After graduating, Misa joined the UK and Ireland tour of The King and I musical as Angel / ensemble.

 

Back in Japan 2012 for three years, she worked across musicals, theatre, contemporary dance, concerts, and commercials. She also worked as an assistant choreographer to Japanese choreographers including Kaoruco, Kaiji Moriyama and Yu Kimoto.

​

In 2015, she moved to London performing as a dancer and working as a choreographer using her knowledge and inspiration from both British theatrical performances and a street dance culture. She became a finalist in the UK Dance Elite Championship and, in 2017, was selected among the Top 8 performers in the Experimental category at JUSTE DEBOUT UK. She has also appeared as a principal performer in music videos for artists including Oh Wonder, KT Tunstall, Newton Faulkner and FYFE.

​​​​

In 2018, Misa performed in the Lincoln Center Theater production of The King and I in London, followed by the UK and International Tour and the production's Japan engagement at Tokyu Theatre Orb. 

In 2019, she co-founded GRENZE, an interdisciplinary performance project with visual and set designer Mikako Kura, presenting work in Berlin and Japan.

​

Misa has also developed a growing body of work across film, television and commercial projects. Her screen credits include ELOISE (Netflix), Wicked: Part One and Part Two (Universal Pictures), Disney's Snow White, and Wonka (Warner Bros.). Her commercial and campaign work includes US Open × Sky Sports, HABITAT, Netflix – What's Next? / Bridgerton, Coinbase, P448 S25 Campaign, and the House of Fraser Christmas Advert.

 

In recent years, Misa has expanded her practice into choreography and movement direction, creating and directing movement for performance, screen and commercial projects.

 

Alongside her professional work, Misa has been studying Japanese traditional dance, exploring the relationship between traditional Japanese movement and contemporary physical expression. She is developing new choreographic and performance work that brings traditional and contemporary movement practices into dialogue, drawing on her background in ballet and contemporary dance while reconnecting with Japanese movement traditions.​​
