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® certification program
