The performance dossier
Shaped to
your event.
ABC is a Ghent-based Indian dance company led by Swapnil Dagliya. Since 2017, we have performed more than 40 shows across Belgium and Europe.
Every booking is shaped around the event: its audience, scale, timing and reason for gathering. Costumes, music and repertoire are curated rather than dropped in as a standard package.
