Yanlai Dance Academy, founded in 2004 is Pittsburgh's leading dance studio in the art of Chinese dance. The academy offers classes to students, age 4 to adults, in folk and classical Chinese dance, ballet, K-pop and more. I work part-time as a dance teacher at the studio in addition to being hired for graphic design work for the studio.

I was hired to create imagery and design for the 2023 recital Dancing Peacock. All assets were created by myself including photography.

Using past performance videos, I created a trailer for the dance school's 2023 year. This trailer was edited shorter for social media.

The studio took a break for 2 years during the COVID-19 pandemic and when the studio came back into session, it was still unsafe to perform onstage without masks. We took this opportunity to instead try something different and record the group dances the students had learned for their record.

These videos also came into use when I was hired to create a promotional video for social media and online to promote the 2022-23 year at the studio.
