IBDAW is not a dance style. It is a system that trains dancers to translate clear ideas into clear, meaningful performance. It uses all dance styles and forms of movement. It builds clear, meaningful dancers — for films, shows, or simply to grow.

"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 Safie Weight Philosophy, which allowed me to form these 2 key elements that set IBDAW apart:

1- Trains the dancer to become the idea.

2- Speaks many vocabularies, 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.

"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.
