mission


Cherylyn Lavagnino Dance’s mission is to excite dance audiences through the medium of classical ballet while expressing the immediacy and humanity of post-modern contemporary dance. Lavagnino’s choreography inhabits the dynamic extremes of ballet, invoking both rigor and ease to create a passionate expression of the ever-shifting nature of our emotions and interactions. By confronting rather than transcending the physical limitations of pointe work and other virtuosities idiomatic to ballet, Lavagnino accesses extreme aspects of the human condition such as aggression, fragility, and struggle.

 

“Lavagnino twists the clichés of pointe work,
bringing the genre gasping and flailing into the 21st Century.”

- The Village Voice
