Rooted in Tero Saarinen’s unique movement philosophy, Tero technique explores the body’s full expressive potential through dynamic exercises and qualities familiar in TSC’s creations. Fusing elements from ballet, contemporary dance and Asian traditions such as butoh, the technique is centered on awakening the senses in the soles of the feet and recognising the weight of one’s own body as a source of movement. By holistically awakening both body and mind, the technique cultivates heightened alertness and concentration, allowing each performer’s unique frequencies to emerge. Tero technique is taught by David Scarantino, Tero Saarinen and other TSC dancers.
Pilates morning classes awaken and warm up the body comprehensively for the upcoming day of movement. Pilates develops strength, mobility, and body awareness, focusing on core control and precise, breath-supported movement. For dancers, it offers tools for body alignment, movement efficiency, and the activation of deep supporting muscles. Pilates classes will be taught by TSC dancer and certified Pilates instructor Elina Häyrynen.
Schedule:
Tero Technique morning classes will be held four times a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Pilates morning class will take place every Wednesday. The morning classes are taught in English.

Anu Sistonen teaches morning ballet classes at TSC Studio in May!
Morning ballet classes: Mon 26 May – Wed 28 May, 10:00–11:30.
Anu Sistonen’s morning ballet classes are intended for professional dancers, advanced adults, and dance students. The class follows the typical structure of a classical ballet training class: it begins at the barre with exercises focused on warming up the body, breathing movement, and placement that reinforce technique. After a calm start, the tempo and dynamics of the movement change as the class progresses to center combinations and jumps. Special attention is given to musicality and dance expression.
You can register for the classes using the booking calendar below. Price: €15 per class.
Anu Sistonen is a former soloist with the Finnish National Ballet and has also danced with Stuttgart Ballet and Cullberg Ballet. She has collaborated closely with Tero Saarinen and worked with several of the world’s leading choreographers.

Currently, she works as a freelance teacher and choreographer.
