Contemporary Dance Class

Contemporary Dance Class — Instructor: Yawen Luo

This contemporary dance class at Arizona State University integrates Chinese dance breathing techniques and rotational with contemporary floorwork. Breath is used to initiate movement, support spirals and turns, and enhance control during transitions. Through structured technique, improvisation, and phrase-based exploration, students develop coordination, spatial awareness, and expressive clarity, fostering both technical proficiency and embodied artistry.

Yawen Luo has taught dance workshops at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
