ABOUT THE UPCOMING SIRIUS SHOW
ACT: SIRIUS, THE BRIGHTEST
16 NOV 2025 | 15.00
It has been a Body Expressive’s annual tradition to perform at the Antwerp Central Station. In this beautiful, majestic architecture a creation, an imagination of dance and music intersects with a public.
ABOUT THE 2025 SHOW – SIRIUS
Sirius is the brightest star in our night sky — its name, rooted in ancient Greek, means “glowing.” For our 2025 show, Sirius is more than a celestial reference; it’s a feeling. It’s about you shining like the brightest star above.
This performance will be an invitation to let your inner light break through — to move, express, and glow in your own way. Our shared task will be to build a space, a story, and a rhythm that brings out your most radiant self.
At its heart, Sirius tells a simple story — a glimpse into the ordinary moments of a day in our lives. But through vibrant music, playful burlesque flair, shimmering costumes, and a touch of sparkle, we’ll remind ourselves of something important: every day is as magical as we choose to make it.
The Heart of the Show
What makes our shows, as SIRIUS truly unique was its cast — a community of dancers ranging from complete beginners to experienced performers. Some had never set foot on a stage before. And that was the point.
This is not about perfection. It was about connection — to self, to others, to the audience. Dancers are encouraged to feel, to express, and to adapt in the moment. Emotion was the true choreography.

ALPHA ACT ANTWERPEN
ALPHA ACT DANSVLOER
ALPHA ACT which portrays a full dimension of the female experience is an emotional, non-stereotypical act of expression in which students’ feelings are channeled and shaped into creation. The dance performance in the Stadsschouwburg Leuven was a part of an amazing local Dansvloer festival that brought together different dance groups and dance schools. It gave our students an opportunity to show “Expression-focused” way to dance and build a stage experience.

FAQs
Here are some frequently asked questions.
Can I join if I am shy or/and I don’t have experience?
Yes, and you certainly should. Half of our students that you see in our Dance Visuals came here with the same question and with fear of being “too shy”, “too inexperience” or simply “incapable”. This is normal to feel it. But we are using a special method of teaching called “Body Expressive Method”, in which we focus on reducing psychological barriers, show how to use emotions and expression in dance and thanks to that we believe we can make everyone thrive. It is on our team to guide you and make you feel great, so you do not have to worry, as it is not your responsibility to “be enough” but ours to get you there.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT OPTIONS TO JOIN?
You can join the FULL SHOW run as a core-viusal member by subscribing to a yearly Visual Package (356 Euro a year and 276 Euro for students). The plus of this membership is more economical price, and you are the first in line for all locations performances in which our space limited (in line to the enrollment/payment date).
You can join FULL SHOW quarterly membership, which means you will be enrolling to quarters, each 3 months. (95 Euro a quarter and 85 Euro for students.)
You can join MINI SHOW run, which is joining one additional choreography built especially for busy people that can not commit to more. (65 Euro per quarter and 230 Euro annually).
HOW THE REHEARSALS AND PREPARATION WORK?
We are organizing a flexible way to rehearse, to be sure we can accommodate all ages, professions and people that have different learning schemes. We understand that people are busy with their duties and want to be sure that you are not excluded because of it.
The show practices are on Mondays 20.00 – 21.00, each second day of the week. There are additional weekend rehearsals held in Autumn prior to shows (several of them, so you have a choice). You can skip some of the rehearsals as long as you practice home from provided “home-schooling” material. You can also choose the amount of choreographies that you take on board.
THE PERSPECTIVE
Our main purpose of VISUALS is to create an experience and expression of a theme or a topic we portray. The authentic emotionality and presence of personalities of our students matter to us more than “traditional” performative “look for clean choreography”. Of course, we strive for the greatest performance possible, but our creations are evocative. They intend to communicate deep emotion to the public and ourselves and become a space that allows for self-connection and liberty. We look at dance and visuals from a different, non-classical perspective and hope to give this clear energy to the outside world. Therefore, whatever experience you had or imagined having before – let us surprise you.
