== Über mich == Miloš Gačanović ist ein multidisziplinärer Künstler, der die Welten des bewussten Tanzes, der Technologie und der bildenden Kunst miteinander verbindet. Mit über 20 Jahren Erfahrung in leitenden Positionen im IT-Bereich – insbesondere als Mitgründer von Makonda und CTO des US-amerikanischen KI-Unternehmens Blockade Labs – verließ er 2025 die Tech-Branche, um sich ganz dem Tanz, der Körperwahrnehmung und der menschlichen Verbindung zu widmen.
Heute ist er der Gründer von DanceResource.org, einer globalen gemeinnützigen Plattform, die sich zum Ziel gesetzt hat, Wissen über bewusste Bewegung zugänglich, inklusiv und wissenschaftlich fundiert zu machen.
== Gründer: DanceResource.org == 2025 gründete Miloš „DanceResource.org“, eine mehrsprachige Open-Source-Plattform, die Folgendes integriert:
- A public wiki on conscious dance modalities
- A global events calendar
- A forum for dancers, facilitators, and researchers
- A mobile/web app for personal movement practice
The platform fosters a network where dance meets science, spirituality, and activism. Its mission is to preserve and share the transformative knowledge of conscious movement traditions like 5Rhythms, Open Floor, and Ecstatic Dance, while also supporting innovation and cross-disciplinary learning.
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.
