PRECISE AND THOUGHTFUL TECHNIQUE

Joey and Yuko help dancers build their technique on the foundation of a clean and efficient alignment that will allow the body to move with clarity. We must build our support from the inside out to allow for the most efficient freedom of movement that will minimize injury and maximize expressivity.

YUKO’S BIO

Philosophy

Yuko and Joseph believe in building an artistic dancer on the foundation of a clean and methodically built technique. Technique is like vocabulary, the more words we know the more ways we can express ourselves in subtle and meaningful ways. But first and foremost is that we must have something meaningful and unique to say.
