Alex Svoboda, Ph.D.

The liberating power of dance seems to flow naturally out of Alex and spread to those who come to his classes.

Alex has lived in three countries (Russia, US and the UK), studied at five universities and colleges, received his Ph.D., worked as an analyst and manager at world's leading organisations, including the legendary management consultancy McKinsey & Company. He has trained directly with Anna Halprin, Gabrielle Roth and other prominent conscious dance teachers. He is a former University instructor and an experienced corporate training facilitator.

Alex has developed a method of dance meditation that is highly accessible, simple and at the same time amazingly deep and potentially transformational. He is sharing his knowledge through his freedomDANCE School that currently has around teachers and trainees. He lives in London and teaches regularly around the world.

Freedom for our mind to notice and accept what is happening inside ourselves and around us. Freedom for us to open up to something bigger, something that transcends our everyday ideas and calculations. It’s freedom to be yourself and share yourself with others…'
