A member of the UNCSA faculty since 2012, Abigail teaches her students to practice with a beginner’s mind, insatiable curiosity, and playful drive; move with silken fluidity and meticulous specificity; activate the space with a grounded and resonant presence; know and believe in themselves and trust in the power of simplicity.

Yager has taught at universities, festivals, and studios worldwide, including the Kyoto International Dance Festival, Independent Dance at Siobhan Davies Studios, Le Centre Choréographique National de Rennes et de Bretagne, and the Irish World Academy of Music.
