Over mij

Miloš Gačanović is een multidisciplinair kunstenaar die de werelden van bewuste dans, technologie en beeldende kunst met elkaar verbindt. Met meer dan 20 jaar ervaring in IT-leiderschap – met name als medeoprichter van Makonda en CTO van het Amerikaanse AI-bedrijf Blockade Labs – verliet hij de techwereld in 2025 om zich volledig te wijden aan dans, lichaamsbewustzijn en menselijke verbinding.

Tegenwoordig is hij de oprichter van DanceResource.org, een wereldwijd non-profitplatform dat zich inzet om kennis over bewust bewegen toegankelijk, inclusief en wetenschappelijk onderbouwd te maken.

Oprichter: DanceResource.org

In 2025 lanceerde Miloš DanceResource.org, een meertalig, open-source platform dat het volgende integreert:

• Een openbare wiki over bewuste dansvormen
• Een wereldwijde evenementenkalender
• Een forum voor dansers, begeleiders en onderzoekers
• Een mobiele/web-app voor persoonlijke bewegingsoefeningen

Het platform bevordert een netwerk waar dans, wetenschap, spiritualiteit en activisme samenkomen. De missie is om de transformerende kennis van bewuste bewegingstradities zoals 5Ritmes, Open Floor en Ecstatic Dance te behouden en te delen, en tegelijkertijd innovatie en interdisciplinair leren te ondersteunen.

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.
