Alexander Feldman is a former Washington government official and current President and CEO of the US-ASEAN Business Council, a position he has held since 2009.
Early Life and Education
Feldman was born in 1967 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He received a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations from the University of Pennsylvania. Feldman's interest in Asia was influenced by his mother, who was one of the first Americans in 1979 to tour China. During his time at the University, Feldman got the chance to go to Singapore as a summer research analyst for an investment bank, where he co-wrote a report on how the growth of air cargo in Asia benefited Singapore Airlines.
Career
Upon graduation, Feldman started working as Special Assistant to the U.S. Assistant Secretary of Commerce for International Economic Policy during the George H. W. Bush administration. After the President's term was up, he traveled to Hong Kong and began his media career by working for Star TV, an Asian TV service that broadcast to over 59 countries and was owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. During his tenure, the company grew from 5 channels in 2 languages to 38 channels in 8 languages. He later went on to work for MTV Asia as Director for Network Development and helped launch their radio business in Asia. After a stint as an entrepreneur, he joined CNBC Asia as Vice President for Affiliate Sales and while there helped create the MGM movie channel for greater China and Southeast Asia. He also founded B2BCast.com, a web-casting company, headquartered in Singapore and focused on Asia. From 2004 to 2008 Feldman served in the U.S Department of State and Department of Commerce. Under the leadership of Secretaries of State Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, he led the Bureau of International Information Programs, held the rank of United States Assistant Secretary of State with responsibility for public diplomacy. In this role, he introduced business metrics and interactive media strategies to improve United State's image overseas. Feldman also served as Senior Advisor to the Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade and in that position, launched an innovative program combining traditional media buys and digital media to promote opportunities for study in American universities for Asian students.
Honors
Feldman is a recipient of the 2007 U.S Department of Commerce Bronze Medal Award for his work on marketing American higher education in China. Feldman is a life-member of the Council on Foreign Relations. He is also a 2005 British American Project Fellow and a 2013 Eisenhower Fellow in Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand with a focus on the strategic cross - border relationships which exist in Southeast Asia as they specifically relate to the creation of an ASEAN identity for the people of the region.

Within Dancing Mindfulness, dance is used as the primary medium to discovery, explore, and deepen the practice of mindful awareness. Dr. Jamie Marich, the creator of Dancing Mindfulness, touts that its primary focus is to allow participants to utilize their body’s natural healing resources. “Come as you are” is a phrase used throughout Dancing Mindfulness, attempting to reach participants of all experiences, ages, and walks of life.
Origins
Dr. Jamie Marich, of Warren, Ohio, developed this practice and first introduced it in 2012 at two addiction-focused conferences. During her recovery from addiction, Dr. Jamie Marich learned about conscious dance via her yoga practice. Although not promoted as a clinical practice, Dancing Mindfulness was created based on Dr. Marich’s extensive clinical knowledge and expertise. Other forms of conscious dance include Nia, 5Rythmns, Journey Dance, Chakradance, Dancemeditation, and others.
Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment and observing thoughts, actions, and feelings without attempting to make changes. It is a non-judgmental practice that focuses on actively noticing without using labels, such as good or bad, to describe what it is happening. There is significant variation between facilitators and venues, as classes are promoted as being tailored to their specific audiences. This site encourages others to dance anywhere, anyway they can in order to create happiness and to tap into mindfulness skills through dance.
Barnes and Nobles lists the up-coming Dancing Mindfulness book as a source for learning to create "a a personal practice of living in the moment without judgment—using dance as the medium of discovery". The book expands on the idea of using the principles of Dancing Mindfulness as a personal practice.
Research
The first research study on Dancing Mindfulness will be published in Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing. The study, entitled Dancing Mindfulness: A Phenomenological Investigation of Early Participants in The Emerging Practice will look at increases in spirituality, positive attitude, and use of mindfulness principles in everyday life found within an initial sample of Dancing Mindfulness participants. Co-authored by Jamie Marich, Ph.D., LPCC-S, LICDC-CS & Terra Howell, M.Ed., LPCC
