Podcast: Leilani Weis
Leilani Weis is a Chilean-born dancer, teacher, and movement researcher based in Barcelona, Spain, with over 25 years of international experience. She is widely recognized as a key figure in the global Contact Improvisation community and a pioneer of ContacTango, an innovative fusion that blends the organic communication of contact improvisation with the structure and sensuality of Argentine tango. Having studied directly under the first generation of contact creators, Leilani developed a profound understanding of movement mechanics, notably through a long-term mentorship with Martin Keough. Since she began teaching improvisation in 1998 and tango in 2001, her career has taken her across Europe, North America, and Latin America. As the founder and artistic director of the Central de Movimiento company, as well as a co-organizer of major international festivals like ItalyContactFest and LunatiContact, she continues to shape the contemporary dance landscape. Her teaching philosophy centers on the biological intelligence of the body, mindfulness, and the physics of gravity, helping dancers find improvisational freedom and a deep, authentic connection with their partners.

"Good Choices - A holistic conversation about dance, art & life with Sabine Parzer" is a podcast series in which we invite professionals of the dance and art world as well as related fields to speak about the choices that they make, artistically, personally, ecologically, politically and spiritually. How do these choices effect and inspire them in their work, their physical and mental health, their family lives, the communities that they live in? The questions we ask look toward the interrelation of life and art, how seemingly small (or big) choices may influence, enhance or even contradict the flow of life. Sabine Parzer is head and founder of the Holistic Dance Institute, an internationally well known teacher of Contemporary Dance, Contact improvisation and Authentic Movement. She has been professionally active as a dancer, choreographer, teacher, dance- and body therapist for more than 30 years in the USA, Europe, Russia, Brazil and Israel. www.holistic-dance.at
