Pat
Ibrahim

30 years ago, without formal dance training, Pat moved to KL with a burning desire and
dream to dance professionally after being inspired by MTV’s biggest dance superstars in
the 80s like Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson and Paula Abdul. He also names Bob Fosse,
Jerome Robbins, Gene Kelly, and many other MGM’s Golden Era choreographers as his
major influence. Soon after arriving in KL, he landed the choreographer’s job at Jacquie Eu
Productions run by Tiara Jacquelina. The MTV and MGM musical dance choreography
that he copied to its detail greatly influenced his style, which later became the trademark for
The Kit Kat Klub, a cabaret act owned by Tiara Jacquelina. Pat and Tiara became ‘berangan
partners’ in the early 90s and together their work created waves within the industry. In 1994,
he was accepted as a dance student at the newly formed, Akademi Seni Kebangsaan (ASK).
There, he learned dance formally from dance great gurus like Suhaimi Magi, Aida Redza,
Dr. Anis and Joseph Gonzales. ASK opened his eyes and gave him new perspectives and
appreciation for classical, contemporary and traditional dances.
His unique style, vision and choreography experience came in handy when he began to take
on the Stage Director’s role, making him a much-desired Director by Malaysia’s biggest stars.
Among them are Dato’ Siti Nurhaliza, Ziana Zain, Salamiah Hassan, Hafiz Suib and many
more. International artists Ramin Karimloo, Steven Bailey and Stephen Rahman Hughes are
among those who have performed on Pat’s stage and direction.
Today, Pat Ibrahim is a recognizable and respected name in the entertainment industry. He
has made many friends over the years and looking forward to work and collaborate with
many other artists and partners.
