The autumn training schedule is out now! In 2026, Tero Saarinen Company celebrates its 30th anniversary, and the training activities pay tribute to the artists who have been a part of TSC's long history, as well as highlight the expanding community.
In the autumn, we will host different kinds of choreographic workshops. During TSC’s anniversary Triple Bill at Dance House Helsinki in September, we will host a special Tero technique workshop with a focus on partnering. The partnering workshop will look at the explorative tools and partnering techniques used by Tero Saarinen while creating Garden and include partnering materials from the piece. In October, Julia Ehrstrand will teach a four-day workshop that dives into her movement practice and choreography methods while Sonya Lindfors’ workshop in December explores community-based improvisation techniques, rooted in rhythm and groove.
During the autumn morning classes, we will awaken the body with Tero Technique and Pilates taught by TSC dancers David Scarantino, Oskari Kymäläinen, Natasha Lommi and Elina Häyrynen. The morning classes will again introduce a variety of different techniques and movement styles under the guidance of guest teachers. Autumn’s guest teachers are Misa Lommi (contemporary dance), Anu Sistonen (ballet), Axelle Munezero (whacking), Milla Koistinen (contemporary dance), and Jarmo Ahonen (Pilates).
The autumn training period starts on 17 August and will continue through 4 December. The language of the morning classes is English. Registration for the classes starts in August. Always check the individual descriptions below and our booking calendar for specific dates and times!
