ABOUT US 

 

Created in 2018 in Brussels, Belgium, STU Arts Dance is an arts organization that upholds the values of community, culture & cooperation through the art of dance.

Our Philosophy

We hope to make dance and movement relevant to the everyday person. Through movement, every person no matter their age, body shape, or experience can overcome their fears and discover something new about themselves. Dancing, specifically, has positive benefits on the mind, body and spirit that increase one’s sense of self-care, creativity, and overall relationship with self and others.

Within our classes workshops, and performances, students freely express themselves and develop their technique, creativity, and individuality, and audiences gain new knowledge and experiences. Our goal is to use dance to create better dancers, performers and people.

 

We carry a unique perspective to the methodology, engagement and approach to arts related work for artists, dancers, and citizens to See. Think. And Understand the Arts of Dance, hence S.T.U Arts Dance.

 

SEE

STU Arts Dance believes that the art of dance has a stronger impact once it is SEEN by audiences. We offer engaging and high energy performances for special events that are perfect for small businesses, arts organisations and corporations.

THINK

Although the Art of Dance is a highly physical art form, we believe it is very important to THINK about and engage in the rich history and culture of dance as well as exploring the positive benefits dance has on communities, and personal and professional development.

 

Through our webinars, blog, and Q&A's we explore a wide range of topics related to dance including the benefits of dance/movement, dance/movement within communities, and how-to-move guides.

Understand

We believe truly UNDERSTANDing the art of dance starts within our own bodies. Our extensive classes and workshops offer offers a wide variety of styles for students of all ages and levels in various dance styles.
