about
Juersson Hermanus is a dancer, actor, teacher, and choreographer driven by a passion for culture and identity. Drawing on Afro-Caribbean heritage, he merges ancestral history with contemporary narratives, inviting audiences to experience the richness of his roots.
Currently, Juersson is part of the Station Noord program in the northern Netherlands, which focuses on supporting and developing talented artists in the northern Netherlands. Through this program, he deepens his work and engages in new collaborations that strengthen his mission of cultural and artistic expression.
In addition, he teaches dance at the Lucia Marthas Institute for Performing Arts, where he shares his passion and knowledge with the next generation of performers, and he is officially recognized as a certified training company for MBO dance students in the Netherlands.
In 2022, he founded Move Huntu—a platform promoting cultural participation that brings untold stories to the forefront. ‘Huntu’ means ‘together,’ reflecting the collective essence of movement and awareness.
From his debut solo performance ‘Yu di Kòrsou’ to previous collaborations with X_YUSUF_BOSS, Donna Chittick, Club Guy & Roni, and Wabi Sabi Theatre, Juersson’s work resonates with Hip-Hop culture, Afro-Caribbean rhythms and contemporary dance forms.
After earning an acting degree from Noorderpoort College of Art and Multimedia (2015), he completed a bachelor’s degree in dance education at the Amsterdam University of the Arts (2019). International exchange programs in Bogotá, Senegal, Belgrade, Kenya, South Africa, and Italy further expanded his artistic horizon.
