- **Event Name**: InBodyDance: The Art of Movement Conference 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 25 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Mon, 28 Sep, 2026 at 11:00 pm (+07:00)
- **Event Description**: InBodyDance: The Art of Movement Conference
A Living Lab of Embodied Intelligence inspired by Zouk, Contact &amp; Connection

One container. One group. One unfolding journey.
Four days of embodied inquiry into movement, connection, and relational intelligence
Guided by world leaders, held in depth, lived together.


InBodyDance is not a festival.
There are no parallel tracks, 
no rushing between rooms, 
no fragmented experiences.

This is a four-day journey
one collective container
where we move together, 
learn together, 
and deepen together.

Across the days, the inquiry unfolds progressively. Each session builds on the last, inviting the group into increasing levels of sensitivity, connection, trust, and embodied intelligence. What is explored in the morning echoes in the afternoon. What is felt on day one becomes refined by day four.

Guided by world leaders in Zouk, Contact Improvisation, and relational movement, we enter the depths of movement as a shared language - where listening precedes action, where connection is trained, and where the body becomes a site of awareness rather than performance.

This is a space for slowing down; for staying with experience long enough for something real to emerge.

Through structured labs, guided explorations, and collective practice, we journey:
	•	from individual embodiment into relational flow
	•	from technique into perception
	•	from form into living connection


There will be an additional and optional 5th day for advanced zouk dancers who want to go deeper into advanced zouk practices.

FACULTY

★ Xandy Liberato
Master and Grandfather of Brazilian Zouk, Founder of Liberato Method

Xandy Liberato is one of the primary figures behind the formation of Brazilian Zouk.  The teacher of the teachers.  Emerging from the Lambada era, he helped shape the technical foundations, teaching structures, and pedagogical clarity that underpin the dance today. Many of the world’s leading Zouk teachers trace their lineage directly or indirectly to his work. His presence represents depth, continuity, and the roots of the form.


★ Anderson Mendes da Rocha
Cofounder of Brendason Method, Pioneer of Modern Zouk Flow &amp; Embodied Connection

Anderson Mendes da Rocha is internationally recognized for shaping the evolution of Brazilian Zouk toward greater fluidity, grounding, and sensitivity. His work bridges technical precision with embodied listening and eutonia - emphasizing on the source of movement and connection.  He has influenced how modern Zouk is felt, not just how it looks.


★ Logan DiTillo
Architect of Stretching Zouk and Biomechanics

Logan DiTillo is known for redefining Brazilian Zouk through biomechanics, structural clarity, and anatomical intelligence. His contributions—especially in head movement, rotation, and connection—have transformed how Zouk is taught globally, supporting safer, more efficient, and sustainable movement. His work forms a cornerstone of contemporary Zouk pedagogy.


★ Natalie Abraham
Queen of Emotional &amp; Relational Intelligence in Partner Dance

Natalie Abraham brings emotional intelligence and relational awareness into the heart of partner dance. Her work focuses on how dancers meet, listen, and build trust through movement, translating subtle emotional dynamics into embodied, teachable practice. She expands the conversation of dance beyond technique into connection, presence, and human relating.


★ Nami
Senior Practitioner of Somatic Contact &amp; Performance

Nami is a somatic movement teacher and performance facilitator working with contact, improvisation, and embodied stretching.  Her classes focus on listening through the body, exploring touch and weight, and allowing performance to emerge from sensation, presence, and relational awareness.  She is a therapist, coach and shadow work facilitator.  She enjoys going deep, yet soft and sweet.
