The Experiments

Devolving Dance

Dance has evolved to a point where it is no longer accessible to many people. Maybe, we have come too far from the source. Maybe it’s time for us to devolve dance a bit, and find ourselves there: body & spirit, where it all began. Gesture, feeling, rhythm. Deep below the surfaces: long before styles, techniques, choreographies… Our bones are down there, Dancing.

Meet Alex

Movement Artist | Educator | Facilitator | Founder of Experiments in Rhythm

Hi, I’m Alex Milewski. I started Experiments in Rhythm (EIR) to offer dancers, movers, and facilitators a different way of engaging with movement—one rooted in rhythm, curiosity, and embodied intelligence.

I’ve spent the last 25 years immersed in movement, exploring a vast range of practices: Breaking, House, Contemporary, Krump, Fighting Monkey, Animal Flow, Infinite Play, Tricking, Capoeira, and Yoga. Since 2009, I’ve worked professionally as a freestyle competitor, dance facilitator, studio owner, and performing artist—teaching and performing across 20+ countries worldwide.

My practice is shaped and inspired by pioneers such as Anna Halprin and Steve Paxton, whose groundbreaking work in postmodern dance and contact improvisation continues to influence my philosophy of dance as ritual, research, and community medicine. I also draw inspiration from modern teachers and peers including Jozef Frucek, Marlo Fisken, Mike Fitch, Kyle Fincham, Jessi Stensland, Archie Burnett, and Celia Grannum Perarnaud.

With this lineage and lived practice, I bring a fresh, integrative approach to dance—creating nourishing, accessible spaces for every body, regardless of background or skill level. My teaching blends dance, rhythm, play, and self-expression into movement journeys designed to reconnect us to body, intuition, and joy.

WHAT MOVES YOU?

Alex takes great care to make sure people are comfortable as they embark on their sometimes emotional journeys of self discovery through movement. No matter the age or ability, he's made it easy for people from various backgrounds to come together and share in vulnerability through his genuinely open, respectful, and light-hearted nature.
