Early lifeChaya was born and trained in classical ballet in Fukuoka, Japan,[1] to a doctor and nurse.[2] He found his way into theater as a dresser in his teenage years, and later as a musical theater dancer on stage and on television in Tokyo. He moved to New York City in December 1970,[1] after questioning whether he was getting work in Japan for being a male, instead of for his ability.[4] CareerChaya performed with AAADT for fifteen years beginning in 1972, becoming rehearsal director after retiring from dancing in 1987[2][3] and also serving as choreographic assistant to Alvin Ailey before Ailey's death in 1989.[4] Chaya was named AAADT's associate artistic director in 1991 by Judith Jamison.[5] Chaya has staged and re-staged various Ailey works, rehearsed dancers, and taught company class for AAADT.[6] He primarily teaches Ailey dances that he has performed.[2] Chaya has focused on maintaining the spirit of Ailey's dances with today's performers, who have generally not experienced the same life challenges as Ailey's dancers of the past.[6] He's credited with providing continuity to AAADT over the years.[7][2][8] Former director Judith Jamison referred to him as the "miracle of this company," who "can remember details and dances like no other."[9] Ballet stagings
