IBDAW Dance Training Page:
Here, the Playing State unfolds through dance — where we train dancers to become the idea itself, sharing clear and meaningful movement that uses many arts but belongs to none.
My Dancers learn to:
1- Help Each Other Flow.
2- Practice Mindful Movement.
3- Communicate ideas with clarity.
I build clear, meaningful dancers — for films, shows, or simply to grow.
IBDAW is not a dance style. It is a system - a stage between the abstract and concrete worlds - that trains dancers to translate clear ideas into meaningful, precise performance. It uses any style and movement to express the idea. IBDAW develops clear, expressive dancers - for films, shows, or simply for personal growth.
"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 could not ask why. I could not even question it.
That moment broke something in me.
I did not 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:
It is rooted in the Playing State Philosophy, which allowed me to form these 2 key elements that set IBDAW apart:
1- Trains the dancer to become the idea.
2- Uses many arts, belongs to none.
🟢 Public Definition: I Breathe. Dance. All Ways.
🔒 Practitioner Definition: A precise framework known only to those who walk the inner path of the method.
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. IBDAW uses any movement vocabulary in the world. Any dance style, whether it’s ballet, house, hip-hop, salsa, football, basketball, or even typing - if a movement serves the idea, we use it. If it does not, we remove it.
IBDAW is a space for dancers who ask “why?”
For those who do not want to be told what to do, but want to understand what they are doing - and why. It is a playground, not a factory.
I do not train robots. We question, co-create, and translate clear ideas into clear, meaningful performance.
It’s not about being professional - it’s about being good enough to serve the idea.
You do not need to be a professional dancer to train in IBDAW.
You only need one thing: the willingness to question, to feel, and to translate thought into movement. If you bring the right mindset, you can become a dancer - no matter your background.
• What if your dance could become the voice for your ideas and deepest emotions?
• Can stepping out of your comfort zone enhance not just your skills, but also to redefine your dance journey?
• How would it feel to take the stage and create a deep connection with your audience?
• Can the joy of turning the studio into a playground of creativity become your new current routine?
• Danced in DTV or TAF competitions and now craving a fresh team dynamic.
If you felt connected to one or more of these questions, then IBDAW sessions are designed for you.
