Lysanne van Berlo (she/her) is a Dutch dancer, teacher, and choreographer based in Belgium. She began her movement journey with taekwondo, started dancing through hip hop dance, and later completed a Contemporary Urban education in the Netherlands. She has worked with multiple hip hop and theatre companies in the Netherlands before moving to Brussels and joining the Anton Lachky Dance Company. In addition to her work as a professional dancer, Lysanne created her own movement approach called the Musiquality Method: a practice that connects music and movement through hip hop–based physical qualities, dynamics, and emotional expression. She has been teaching the method internationally for several years.

The Musiquality Method is a movement approach that explores how to connect music and movement in creative ways. It uses various movement qualities and dynamics to evoke emotions and sensations in the body, offering a fresh approach to movement.
Lysanne uses techniques from hip hop, such as waving, bouncing, and isolations. You will explore different energies and tensions in the body, finding a balance between effort and release.
During the workshop, Lysanne will teach a choreography she created using the Musiquality Method, working with musical layers, the body’s specific movements, and emotions.

*Unfortunately, due to last minute unforeseen circumstances, Mohanad Smama won’t be able to teach at Top Floor this year. Due to this change, Lysanne is teaching a second workshop.
The second workshop is focused on the improvisation part of the Musiquality Method.
Participants are encouraged to explore their own movement style, discovering new ways to listen to music and express themselves with the tools Lysanne provides.
Finally, the method helps participants break habitual patterns, finding moments of surprise and creativity in their dancing, working not only the body but also the mind.
