Welcome to tessura



 Tessura vzw is a nonprofit
association based
in the Benelux (Belgium)
dedicated to support
awareness around dance
and movement
practices in general and the
work
of
Body-Mind Centering® in particular.



Branching into the fields of
dance and movement education,
research, and therapy,
as well as the realm of artistic
research and creation,
Tessura envisions,
like tiles of a mosaic,
to create space
for an overarching as well
as peculiar
image to emerge.
An image, rooted in the experience
of the moving body.


We offer
a BMC
