Cherylyn Lavagnino Dance

Lavagnino's tendency to blend contemporary movement within the framework of traditional ballet. Not only do the dancers beam with smiles from time to time, their movements transition from classic and picturesque to angular, palmsdown straight arm work, and recurring poses with a hand poised on a released hip, the other arm bent upward to their head. The transitions between are organic, adding to the aesthetic, as does the technique of the dancers.
