Dance Well is an artistic practice promoting dance in museum spaces and artistic contexts, and it is aimed primarily, but not exclusively, at people living with Parkinson’s. The Dance Well practice consists of dance classes for people living with Parkinson’s and different local communities. The classes take place in artistic spaces (museums, galleries, historical theatres…), and to emphasize with even more clarity that Dance Well is an artistic practice, the participants are called Dance Well dancers.
Noe and Yuika followed the Dance Well teachers training course in 2024 in Bassano del Grappa in Italy. This is the first try-out of Dance Well in Belgium.
Noé Pellencin
Noé Pellencin was trained in classical and contemporary dance at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Lyon, and later at P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels. As a performer, he has collaborated with choreographers such as Boris Charmatz, Maud Le Pladec, and Fabrice Lambert, touring internationally from 2016 onwards. Alongside his career as an interpreter, he co-founded the association MOSAE in 2024, through which he creates projects at the intersection of art, pedagogy, and social engagement.
His artistic approach is enriched by his practice of Aïkido (2nd dan), which informs his understanding of flow, adaptability, and relational dynamics in movement. He also deepens his relationship to rhythm and musicality through the O Passo method, which grounds his choreographic work in embodied listening and collective rhythm-making. His research emphasizes improvisation and the collective dimension of movement, where the body is less a site of virtuosity than a medium for exchange, dialogue, and shared imagination.
Yuika Hashimoto
She trained at JWCPE, dance education department (Tokyo) and after that at P.A.R.T.S training cycle (Brussels) from which she graduated in 2016. Since then she has performed for Rosas/Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, fieldworks/Heine Avdal and Yukiko Shinozaki, and nïm campany/Naïma Mazic.
Her recent artistic research focuses on making a connection between different communities through dance. Therefore the curiosity led her to follow the training of Dance Well in 2024 and Contakids in 2025.
Beside performing on the stage, she has worked as rehearsal director at OVB for Rosas repertoires, and she gives dance workshops at PARTS summer school, WISPER in Leuven. Also at Bindkracht vzw where she works with the metal disability people.
