Morning Professional Training

We are very happy to welcome Astero (Styliani Lamprinou) at danscentrumjette for Precise Groove!

8/06 – 12/06
10h to 12h

Astero’s class begins with a nourishing warm-up, focusing on breath and gaze. She then teaches dance combinations emphasizing precision, circular and multidirectional movement, and smooth yet accented groove-based patterns.
This technique class is designed as a daily ritual for connection and pleasure, as well as for maintenance and audition preparation. Its references include Rudolf Laban’s Choreutics, Body Weather, Feldenkrais, Aikido martial art, and long-term technique training with Paul Douglas in London and David Hernandez in Brussels.
Astero loves making dances and dance films for Brussels and beyond on human fragility, urbanism, design, and architecture.

Astero Styliani Lamprinou

Astero Styliani Lamprinou, originally from Athens and based in Brussels, studied movement, dance, cultural theory, and choreography at the Laban Centre and the London Contemporary Dance School. She completed an MA at the University of Surrey with a scholarship from the A. Onassis Foundation.
She has worked primarily as a performer in various fields including contemporary dance, opera, theater, video, and installation in London, Ireland, Athens, and Brussels. She has collaborated with Dance Theatre of Ireland, English National Opera, English National Theater, and choreographers such as Joanne Leighton, Yolande Snaith, David Hernandez, and Ana Cembrero Coca.
Her first dance film, SECRET CITY (2020), is a choreographic journey through the city of Brussels, followed by WALL TO WALL (2020). After the short dance trio STONES (2023), Astero is currently preparing the film METROPOLITAN STONES (2026) and the solo WALLPAPER (2026).

25–29/05
10h to 12h

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULUFwdTci9o

In this workshop, Nuhacet Guerra explores the strength of the body through circular and semicircular movement patterns, working with instinctive impulses through fluidity, dynamics, playfulness, acrobatics, and intuitiveness.
Participants will explore the use of six points of support: head, shoulders, forearms, hands, knees, and feet, to maximize the function and stability of the body. The classes are divided between a mindful and focused warm-up, force and resistance play, balance and imbalance work, and jumping and falling explorations.
Through combinations and guided improvisations, dancers will work on strength, resistance, speed, balance, acrobatics, and ground reception, approaching physicality through awareness of weight, gravity, and support. The workshop also focuses on managing energy without losing dynamics, linking movements efficiently, and developing precision, coordination, stage presence, and responsiveness.
The aim is to develop and enrich the physical form of each participant while exploring intuition and instinct, discovering the body and mind as an infinite tool capable of reaching beyond perceived limits.

The full workshop costs 80 euros.
One class is 20 euros.
