Join the IBDAW Dance Teams

Because creation is never neutral, each training invites us to feel and live dance.

At IBDAW dance training, I help dancers train with meaning, and create with clarity without losing their voice, through the playing state philosophy.

What is IBDAW Dance?

IBDAW is not a dance style. It is a dance creation system - a stage between the abstract and the concrete.

Pronounced "Ibdaa", IBDAW is rooted in the Playing State Philosophy and uses any movement necessary and belongs to no single form. Contemporary, modern, and ballet techniques train the body, but they do not define the system.

IBDAW was created in 2012 out of a refusal to perform movement without meaning. In IBDAW, movement exists only if it serves the idea. If it does not, it is removed.

IBDAW is a playground for dancers, not a factory - a space for co-creation, inquiry, and clarity. What matters is to question, to feel, and to translate ideas into physical form.

We are creating films, shows, and a space for personal growth.

✅ Competition or stage experience,

✅ Ballet / Modern / Contemporary / Gymnastics background.
