Award-winning contemporary choreographer at YAGP, Paula Vargas, will guide young students and create new works on the more advanced dancers of WSYB.
In terms of the focus of its technique, contemporary dance tends to combine the strong but controlled legwork of ballet with modern that stresses the torso. It also employs contract release, floor work, fall and recovery, and improvisation characteristics of modern dance. Unpredictable changes in rhythm, speed, and direction are also often used.
