During these three mornings, I will share my practice rooted in house dance and other street dance techniques. My work focuses on weight and grounding, drawing energy from the floor.
Together, we will explore both personal and collective swing and groove.
Im interested in the complexity of how social dances connects, vibes and intertwine bodies beyond the surfaces. Implies that I´m looking past aesthetics or technique and toward embodied connection, intimacy, rhythm, tension, affect, or even social and cultural meaning.
Through this aspect, I will introduce some of the thoughts and practise that im exploring in the creation of SHOUT, that we will be performing 16th and 17th of September at the Yes-dance biennale at Dansehallerne.

Jens Jeffry Trinidad is a Filipino-Norwegian performing and creating dance artist with a background from X-Ray/UKH in Oslo, where he began dancing hip hop in the late 90s. In his own projects and works, Jens approaches choreography from a performer’s perspective, with the act of performing as a central driving force both in the process and on stage. He is rooted in club and street dance styles and works across projects within contemporary dance and performance. Currently, Jens is developing his own practice, focusing on physicality—presence, sensorial awareness, and new approaches to movement—while also challenging genre conventions.
