Jeanna Serikbayeva’s ballet class follows a clear academical crescendo structure — barre, centre, turns, and jumps — enriched with neoclassical and contemporary influences.

Designed for professional dancers of all styles and levels, the class invites a deep physical awareness while maintaining technical clarity and precision.

The aim of these practical exercises is to keep the dancer’s body animated, receptive, and resilient, while supporting injury prevention and sustainable practice. Through focused exploration, dancers learn to integrate the principles of elasticity and opposition into their classical technique and daily artistic work.

Attention is given to the activation of the whole body within ballet training, encouraging a fuller spatial and dynamic awareness. This allows movement to expand naturally — from the refined vocabulary of classical traditions.

The class supports dancers in arriving not only physically prepared, but also aligned, warm, and somatically present — ready to move with clarity, freedom, and artistic intelligence.

Jeanna Serikbayeva
is a dancer, performer, and actress with over 25 years of professional experience. She moves like a chameleon across artistic forms, bridging classical ballet, political theatre, contemporary dance, and performance.

Born in Kazakhstan, she began her training at the National Ballet Academy A.V. Seleznev in Almaty. She later danced as a soloist with the National Ballet Ayukanov before leaving to pursue her artistic path in Europe and deepen her engagement with contemporary dance. Jeanna continued her studies in “Performing Arts/Theatre” at the University Sorbonne Paris VIII. Over the past decade, she has worked as a freelance solo artist, with Luxembourg and Berlin as her home bases. Her work spans dance-theatre, major opera productions, museum performances, and collective art projects, bringing her across Europe as a versatile dancer and performer.

Her artistic research is rooted in the relationships between body and society. She explores themes such as gender and conflict, race and movement, as well as culture, space, time, and matter. She is particularly passionate about how the body can reflect and question social structures. Since 2021, Jeanna has been part of the eco-feminist art collective La dynamique des choses. Within the collective, she contributes through her embodied experience and scenic perspective, creating spaces for sharing and collective creation grounded in the body.

Her artistic vision is driven by a desire to transform social and political questions into powerful bodily and visual expression.
