This week on the Conversations on Dance podcast, we are joined by Martha Graham Dance Company Principal Dancer, Xin Ying.  Ying was born in China and began dancing at the age of 6 taking classes in Chinese folk dance.  At just 15 she entered college and after graduating, she went on to teach dance at the Sichuan University of Culture and Arts.  After years of teaching, she decided that she wanted to travel to further her understanding of dance, then bring that knowledge back to her students.  Ying received funding from her University to travel to New York City and attend the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance.  From there, her love for the Martha Graham technique blossomed: she took a position in the second company and would go on to join the main company in 2011. We talk with Ying about her training and education in China, her incredible career trajectory, what made her fall in love with the Graham technique, and what this past year has been like for her. We recorded this episode on Friday, April 30th before the company’s return to live shows this past weekend.  For more information on the company’s live and virtual programming, please visit marthagraham.org.
