Dance Companies Join Forces and Transcend International Barriers

By Juan P. Voorduin

Vietnam Dancing to Connect 2022 is an inspiring documentary that showcases the transformative power of dance as a tool for personal expression and cultural connection. Directed by Ly Tran Tuan Thanh, it follows the first collaboration between Battery Dance, a New York-based dance company, and Arabesque, a private neo-classical and contemporary company from Ho Chi Minh City, 越南. 在一起, they introduced Battery Dance’s 跳舞连接 program to Vietnam, with profound and lasting results.

The documentary’s strength lies in its focus on empowerment. Through interviews and personal testimonies, both teachers and students express how the program helped them break down physical and emotional barriers through movement. The film also highlights the program’s long-term impact, as Jonathan Hollander, founder of Battery Dance, discusses the sustainability of training local trainers to continue the work, creating a legacy of creativity and collaboration.

Vietnam Dancing to Connect 2022 is more than a documentary about dance; it’s a powerful story of global connection, self-expression, and cultural sustainability.
