He made all the hottest hunks in B-town dance to his tune. From Shah Rukh Khan to Shahid Kapoor and from Ranbir Kapoor to Hrithik Roshan, ace choreographer Ashley Lobo ensured that these men deliver their best on the screen when it comes to showcasing dance. And now, the acclaimed choreographer is all set to represent India yet again on a global platform with his contemporary work Amaara - A Journey of Love.

Here's a rare feat that we are talking about! Ashley along with his contemporary dance company Navdhara India Dance Theatre (NIDT) is in the top 50 applicants to have been selected from over 600 applications from across the world to perform at the world’s biggest contemporary dance gathering, the ‘Internationale Tanzmesse NRW 2018’. We met Ashley recently. Here's a glimpse of what that chat is all about. Full interview soon on LatestLY.com!

 

It would be pertinent to note that The Internationale Tanzmesse NRW 2018 hosts the largest professional gathering dedicated exclusively to contemporary dance from multiple countries across the world without consisting of any specific geographical focus. Showcasing dance performances over four days, it consists of artists from the continents of Europe, America, Africa and Asia. The selection of performances takes place by an open application process whereby 50 applications are selected from over 600 submitted proposals by the International Tanzmesse board of jury members.

And Ashley’s NIDT is one among these 50 entries selected to showcase their work, ‘Amaara - A Journey of Love’.Ashley Lobo is naturally ecstatic about the selection as he feels that it is a great platform to perform and carve a place of prominence in the international market. Says Ashley, “It’s a big moment, not only for us but also for Indian contemporary dance. We are thrilled to be performing at the largest dance gathering of contemporary dance professionals in the world. What makes it even more special is that we have been assigned the Capitol Theatre in Dusseldorf for our performance, which is the biggest and most prestigious theatre in the entire Tanzmesse."
