Jennifer Regidor Belgium / Philippines
Jennifer Regidor is a multidisciplinary creative artist with a passion for dance and a heart devoted to connecting people through movement. Alongside leading her own contemporary dance company Lune and several youth dance companies, she works as a dance teacher and artistic coordinator at the dance humanities program of the Lemmens Institute in Leuven.
As a choreographer, dance teacher, and performer, Jennifer creates contemporary dance in which movement, expression, and creativity come together. She enjoys weaving other art forms into her work, such as music, theatre, painting, and videography.
For several years now, Jennifer has also been using dance as a medium beyond traditional theatre stages, through projects such as Dans door Leuven, Leuven Moves, and in 2025 she introduced “Dance Doctors”, a pilot project launched on the Day of Dance at the children’s hospital of Gasthuisberg.
As the mother of two daughters, Jennifer not only shares her professional expertise but also her deep love for dance and music, and her belief in the power of self-expression. She is also the initiator and public face of the dancing Leuven–Filipino children’s giant Filipiniana, created in the likeness of her mother.
