KoDance - Move with the Tribe, Answer the Call of Your Body and Soul

​KoDance was born from a journey of overcoming pain and discovering the healing power of movement. Lilach Buchler grew up in northern Israel, working in mango groves, where dancing with friends and family after long days in the fields became a source of joy and release. But everything changed in Lilach’s early 20s after a severe spinal injury threatened her ability to move. The excruciating pain seemed insurmountable—until movement became the medicine. Dance was the key to healing her body and soul. After a spontaneous trip to Koh Phangan, she found herself dancing on the beaches, practicing Tai Chi, and feeling her body come alive again. But the real breakthrough came later, when long hours of sitting as a programmer, Living in Boston, MA, brought pain back into her life. Becoming a Chinese Medicine Doctor and returning to dance for further recovery, Lilach discovered NIA—a life-changing practice that healed her from within. It wasn’t just movement; it was a spiritual experience that reconnected her to the rhythm of life. As an instructor, she spent over 20 years teaching dance and leading workshops around the world, helping others experience the same transformation. Then, one day, while leading a workshop at a dance festival, the power of tribal rhythms hit her. A live show of drums and didgeridoo created an energy she had never felt before. She saw how the music united people, turning separate dancers into a connected tribe, and by that, creating profound healing and growth experience. The realization of KoDance was born. In 2023, Lilach returned to Koh Phangan—the place where nature and healing intertwine—to bring this new practice to life. Now, through KoDance, she works with Tribal music, incorporating live performers as well as DJs, blending powerful beats with movement to create transformative experiences that heal, connect, and inspire. Her mission is to spread this practice worldwide, building a global tribe united by the power of dance.
