Milø Slayers (artist's name André van Praet, °1993) is a dancer-choreographer with additional interests in photography, poetry, animated film, music and the organization of cultural events (such as the multidisciplinary Abstrahø festival at Decoratelier, Kunstenfes-valdesarts...). Her practice combines two spheres of dance:

1. Hiphop dance (as an autodidact): In 2014 he established Compagnie Slayers, a hiphop dance company with which he has produced two dance creations: Cyborg's Quest (2015-2017, supported by Maison de Créa-on BXL Nord, LezArtsUrbains, Maison des Cultures Molenbeek and the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles) and Wormhole (2017, choreographic and digital project). In 2017 the company won the Hip Hop Games Belgium and represented Belgium at the Jeux de la Francophonie in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. He is interested in a wide range of styles: streetdance, locking, krumping, b- boying, popping. He also gives hiphop dance workshops (at BRONKS, Decoratelier, Impulsion...) in Brussels.

2. . Contemporary dance (as an emerging professional ar-st): Between 2015 and 2020 he aeended the 'Espace Urbain' artistic training course at ISAC (Ins-tut Supérieur des Arts et des Choréographies) in the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels. In June 2020, he completed his master's degree, focusing on the prac-ce of the body, questioning the space between the choreographic arts and the plas-c arts. Since then, he has done residencies at Charleroi danse, Pianofabriek in Brussels, STUK in Leuven, KAAP in Bruges, VierNulVier in Ghent, Ultima Vez in Brussels, Les Ballets C de la B in Ghent... and shown work-in-progress as part of WIPCOOP at the KVS.
