Arzu Salman (dancer)

Arzu Salman (He/Him) takes the dance floor thanks to the LGBTQIA+ and immigrant communities preceding him. His dancing is a fervid and unbridled love letter to those who follow. Salman first attended Piedmont School of Music & Dance in Charlotte, NC. Salman next graduated Magna Cum Laude from The Ailey/Fordham BFA Program in 2018. Salman joined Yaa Samar! Dance Theater in 2020, and Ballez Company in 2022. He has had the pleasure of working with choreographers such as Tsai Hsi Hung, Peter Alfred Elizalde, Lavinia Eloise Bruce, and is featured in the All Arts WNET Group documentary episode “Travesty-Past, Present, Future.” Salman is currently working as a co-creator & assistant choreographer of “Das Rauschgift” with Cosimo Pori, Travis Amiel & Nina Rodriguez. He is looking forward to his first performance with Christopher Williams Dance.
