Sobre

Miloš Gačanović é um criador multidisciplinar que une os mundos da dança consciente, da tecnologia e das artes visuais. Com mais de 20 anos de experiência em liderança na área de TI — principalmente como cofundador da Makonda e CTO da empresa de IA Blockade Labs, sediada nos EUA — ele deixou o mundo da tecnologia em 2025 para se dedicar integralmente à dança, à expressão corporal e à conexão humana.

Hoje, ele é o fundador do DanceResource.org, uma plataforma global sem fins lucrativos dedicada a tornar o conhecimento sobre movimento consciente acessível, inclusivo e cientificamente fundamentado.

Fundador: DanceResource.org

Em 2025, Miloš lançou o DanceResource.org, uma plataforma multilíngue de código aberto que integra:

• Uma wiki pública sobre modalidades de dança consciente
• Um calendário global de eventos
• Um fórum para dançarinos, facilitadores e pesquisadores
• Um aplicativo móvel/web para prática de movimento pessoal

A plataforma fomenta uma rede onde a dança se encontra com a ciência, a espiritualidade e o ativismo. Sua missão é preservar e compartilhar o conhecimento transformador de tradições de movimento consciente como 5Ritmos, Open Floor e Ecstatic Dance, ao mesmo tempo que apoia a inovação e o aprendizado interdisciplinar.

Dance & Embodiment Journey

Miloš's relationship with dance began in the early '90s during Belgrade’s underground rave movement. What started as instinctive club dancing evolved into a lifelong personal practice and, eventually, a professional calling. His pivotal shift began in 2016 when he joined workshops led by Open Floor facilitator Hana Stamatović, whose teachings on embodiment, mindfulness, and emotional expression deeply influenced him.

Following years of immersive practice, personal research, and therapeutic integration, Miloš began developing his own movement methodology - InnerMotion, combining intuitive dance with principles from psychology, neuroscience, and somatic education. His method supports self-expression, emotional healing, and reconnecting with one's body through mindfulness practices. In 2024, he enrolled at the Center for Integrative Development (CIR) and began mentorship with Alexey Kuzmin to further refine his skills as a facilitator.

Before transitioning to dance full-time, Miloš had a prolific career in IT, digital media, and interactive design:

• CTO of Blockade Labs and 330.ai, pioneering in AI, SaaS, and interactive media
• Unity3D game developer, system architect, and DevOps engineer
