Arabesque was founded in 2008 by choreographer Nguyen Tan Loc as the first private neo-classical and contemporary dance company in Ho Chi Minh City. Since its founding, the company has focused on the training and development of professional dancers and on creating an inclusive environment for the creation of new unique dance works. Arabesque’s vision is to promote Vietnamese culture to the world through dance, to bring international dance culture to Vietnam, and to strengthen and build the contemporary dance field in Vietnam.
