Pioneering dancer and choreographer Wang Yabin has recently concluded the third full production of her studio, Expecting with Faith. The latest production is a part of the series Yabin and Her Friends, which includes Dancing With You in 2009 and Pursuing in 2010.
While these two dance productions focused on supporting young Chinese dancers, Expecting with Faith highlights an international team, with Chinese-American Zhou Long, who won a Pulitzer Prize for Music, and American Dance Festival instructor and choreographer Mark Haim.
The 27-year-old Wang trained in classic techniques at Beijing Dance Academy and has matured into one of China's foremost exponents of contemporary dance. Her annual performance series, Yabin and Her Friends, aims to provide opportunities for young Chinese dance talents.
