Move, Flow, Tell the Story:

This is more than a dance workshop.

It’s a space to evolve as an artist, performer, and storyteller.

Step into the spotlight with a short, intense, and playful dance workshop that ends with a mini-performance!

We will use IBDAW Dance System.

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.

What is WAZN?

"WAZN" is pronounced as 'wah-zn,' with the first part sounding like 'wah'.

WAZN is a memory of moving and talking together—a dance style developed by Emeel Safie and developed from 2014 to 2022. It unites people from around the world through movement, fostering a sense of connection. WAZN brings us together!

The dance involves moving, holding hands, walking steps, and sharing any dance style or movement individuals wish in the moment, followed by conversing. It's simple, can be done anytime, anywhere, and with everyone.

Is Mini-Performance Workshop Right for You? To find out, answering these questions will help:

• Do you (or your dancers) struggle to express emotions or ideas clearly through movement?

• Do you wish to expand your dancers’ creative freedom — beyond choreography?

• Are you looking for a way to train technique and storytelling at the same time?

• Are you working with dancers who want to connect more deeply with their performance?

• Do you love the idea of simple steps that can be applied to music and enjoy holding hands with others?

• Are you looking for a chance to connect with others and maybe even meet a new partner or make some new friends?

• Could your wedding, birthday, or party turn into a dance event where guests leave as friends?

• How would it feel to have a team-building opportunity that helps your team get to know each other better and strengthen their relationships?

If you felt connected to one or more of these questions, then the IBDAW workshop is designed for you.
