ABOUT
YYDC is a NY-based non-profit contemporary dance company established in 2018 by choreographer and artistic director Yue Yin. The company is dedicated to the public performance, producing and sharing of original choreographic works, as well as teaching of original contemporary dance technique created by Yue Yin. Over the past decade, Yin has refined and expanded an original movement vocabulary called FOCO Technique™, 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 grew from Yin’s own blended international background and a deep appreciation for precision, contrast, fluidity and musicality and gained recognition from dance practitioners around the world. In 2024, Yue Yin officially promoted two of the long-time collaborators Grace Whitworth and Nat Wilson to be the first two certified FoCo Technique instructors in the world as a dedicated group effort to share, promote and present this cultural expression with the young generation of the dancers.
