Echoing her choreographic voice, FOCO TECHNIQUE™ is a unique contemporary form of dance movement rooted in Chinese classical and folk dance melded with the complex and diverse influences of the immigrant experience. The form grows from Yin’s own blended international background and a deep appreciation for precision, contrast, fluidity and musicality. Photo @alicechaconphotography

Dance is what feels like home to me. Entering a studio and moving my body, listening to music and creating with like minded artists is my happy place. Where I feel I was born to be. I'm so grateful to feel this after decades of following my dreams. Thank you @cinonmatography for capturing me dancing. When I'm 100 I'll look back on this a smile.

Phrase from subbing @yue_yydc 's @foco_technique class at @peridancecenter . Learning and growing. Lifelong learning and growing.
