What is IBDAW Dance?

"IBDAW" is pronounced "Ibdaa"

In 2012, I stood on stage and realized I was just following orders — “bend your knee, straighten your arm” — not because it meant anything, but because the choreographer wanted it that way. I couldn’t ask why. I couldn’t even question it.

That moment broke something in me.

I didn’t want to perform empty shapes anymore. I wanted to move with meaning — to speak through my body, not decorate space.

That is why I created IBDAW 2012–2024:

IBDAW is not a dance style. It is a way of thinking about dance.

It is rooted in the Safie Weight Philosophy, which allowed me to form these 5 key elements that set IBDAW apart:

1- Trains the dancer to become the idea.

2- Speaks many vocabularies, belongs to none.

3- Builds movement from meaning, not imitation.

4- Refines movement through clarity and efficiency.

5- Rooted in real experience, not performance culture.

🟢 Public Definition: I Breathe. Dance. All Ways.

🔒 Practitioner Definition: A precise framework known only to those who walk the inner path of the method.

IBDAW was not born to perform or please the crowd — it was born to communicate the truth of a moment. A method built on real ideas, real stories — not fantasy. While it draws from ballet, modern, and contemporary dance techniques—basic positions, rolling, jumping, shifting, lifting, partnering, off-balance control, flow, and more—its true purpose is revealed in performance. In IBDAW, we take a clear idea — and translate it into clear, logical movement. Anything that does not serve the idea is removed.

We do not perform dance — We listen, translate, and communicate the idea with the audience.

Is Mini-Performance Dance 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?

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