Peter Wright, a renowned choreographer and art director, recruited Yoshida for his Sadler's Wells Royal Ballet--now the Birmingham Royal Ballet.
"One day, he was at the Royal Ballet School to watch us dance," Yoshida said. "Everybody knew he was there to audition us, all except me. So I was able to relax and perform my usual ballet, while everyone else was nervous."
