Yaroque Dance Theatre, founded by choreographer Shelby Green in 2024, fuses drag flair and clowning mischief with the rigor of Graham, Balanchine, Gaga, and Vogue technique. The result is a movement language that is at once satirical and tender, extravagant and raw—inviting audiences to laugh, question, and feel in equal measure.

Building evening-length works for global touring while branching into music-video and film, Yaroque bridges entertainment and inquiry. Each piece constructs a surreal, embodied world where camp becomes a tool for care, proving that spectacle can be sincere and authenticity, radical.
