Vaibhav Arekar belongs to a new generation of dedicated, dynamic dancers, whose art and life are guided by the vision of promoting and projecting Indian classical dance as an evolving, contemporary art form.

 

He is the founder of the Sankhya Dance Company, one of the leading dance companies in western India. Through the language of Bharatanatyam, it investigates and interrogates concepts and performances techniques in its quest to find the 'contemporary' within the classical folds. The company’s dynamic repertory ranges from traditional works to contemporary dance productions.
