Ery Mefri (Founder & Leader Nan Jombang Dance Company)

Ery Mefri was born on June 23, 1958 in Saniangbaka, Solok, West Sumatera. His first choreography was born 27 years later in 1983 – a dance that he called “Nan Jombang” – whose title then became the name of a dance company he established and lead up until today.

His journey was triggered by the passion to express himself by combining his own potentials with the Minangkabau culture and traditions – in which he believes to hold endless possibilities and interpretations. The idea was simple to create a new design of choreography that spiritually, instead of just stylistically, roots in tradition. A challenge a mission – that was posed against his thoughts and mind as a choreographer.. About Us
