WHAT IS DANCE ALCHEMY?
Dance Alchemy is a unique system of embodiment and transformation that blends contemporary dance methodologies with ancient wisdom. Founded in 2006 by Goran Bogdanovski through his weekly Ficho training, it has since evolved into a proven method that has impacted over 3,000 people in 23 countries—from non-professional dancers to dancers, dance and yoga teachers, movement and dance therapists, psychologists, coaches, entrepreneurs, and change leaders.
Rooted in dance improvisation, contact improvisation, dance therapy, martial arts, somatic practices, spirituality, and embodied leadership, Dance Alchemy offers more than 100 practical tools, games, and exercises designed to support personal growth, creativity, relationships, leadership, and professional development—our dance training programs are accessible to everyone, regardless of experience.
DANCE is a natural order of the Universe
ALCHEMY is a process of purification, transformation, and creation
