Christine and Van, founders of TAO Dance Arts, are passionate about self-progression, movement, and community. As working mothers balancing family and career, they created TAO Dance Arts to share their love for aerial arts, pole dancing, acro yoga, and body movement workouts with people of all backgrounds.

The Meaning Behind TAO

“TAO” is rich in cultural significance:

"Ta-Oh" means person in Tagalog, honoring Christine’s Filipino heritage.

"Tao" means I / ME in Vietnamese, reflecting Van’s roots.

Christine and Van met in a pole class in Hong Kong, where 道 (Dao) means pathway — a symbol of personal growth and transformation.
