"International choreographer Hee Ra Yoo uses an east-meets-west approach…. The west provides the base, which ranges from balletic pointe work to sweeping modern sequences. The east adds ornamentation with gentle hooks of the wrist and delicate arrangements of the fingers, like bouquets of posies."
- THE DANCE ENTHUSIAST
