About
Behind every movement,
there is a story.
I’m Ivan Mileusnić. Dancer, choreographer, educator and founder of Dare to Dance.
Dance connects my work on the competition floor, in the studio and on stage. As an eight-time national champion, I have experienced both the precision of competition and the freedom of creating. Today, I share that world through choreography, performance and teaching.
As Vice President of the DanceSport Federation of Serbia, I am committed to developing and promoting dance and creating opportunities for new generations of dancers.
A lasting curiosity.
My commitment to learning began at school. I received the Vuk diploma for outstanding achievement at the end of primary school and was named student of the generation at secondary school. I continued at the Faculty of Economics, earned a master’s degree in economics and subsequently enrolled in doctoral studies. Learning remains an essential part of my work — in the studio, on stage and through the people I meet.
Finding your own expression.
My greatest passion is helping dancers develop their artistic identity. Through technique, music and experience, they discover their own expression, grow in confidence and bring something authentic to the stage. I love seeing each dancer find a personal way to tell a story through movement.
This is where I bring together my work and stories about dance. About what happens behind the scenes, the first steps in a studio and the experiences that move us.
