About us
Welcome to our dance studio! We're all about creating dance art through creative ideas and innovative methods. We love to see the potential in every individual and help them develop it through our unique dance art creation process. PUNYA ARTS STUDIO (PAS) was founded by the wonderful Ari Ersandi in 2020 after 11 years of growth. PAS is a place where art can really flourish and be created through a long journey. Ari, with his artistic experience, makes sure that the methods in PAS can help anyone who wants to know the world of art, especially in the field of dance. PAS is totally committed to developing the potential of dance artists and providing a space for them to develop their talents in the world of dance.
Punya Studio is a lovely art space that has been around since 2012 in Bandar Lampung City. Punya Studio has had its share of ups and downs, but it has always bounced back to remain one of the most important and vibrant art spaces in the area. The lovely folks at Punya Studio have a big heart and a big dream: to be a place where anyone can learn and grow as an artist. They also want to be an art center and art archive, especially for dance in Indonesia. It all started with a passionate choreographer who works and collaborates with artists from all walks of life. The studio puts on small and large performances and dance workshops. At the heart of it all is a deep love for movement, exploring the connection between body, space, and time in dance art.
