Describing Biodanza does not do it justice. Only through experiencing Biodanza can you have a true impression of this phenomenon. That is why we invite you to read something here and to discover during a class or workshop what Biodanza can add to your life.
Biodanza is a strong experiential method of dance and interaction aimed at personal growth and enhancing the healthy parts of a human being - our passion for life and our vitality.
Biodanza literally means Dance of Life
, and
was created in the 60's by the Chilean anthropologist
and psychologist
Rolando Toro Araneda. Research by
Toro shows that there are five areas in which people
find fulfillment - vitality, sexuality, creativity,
affectivity and transcendence. Biodanza works with
all these aspects, they are intertwined in each
lesson by a wide variety of exercises, in tune with
the participants.
Biodanza is for everyone that wants to get more out of life: young and old, female and male, single and couple, feeler and thinker, flexible and rigid, dancer and wallflower.
Biodanza helps to create a balance between body, soul and spirit. It takes our abundant thoughts out of the spotlight. This allows us to experience again that there are many motives that move us and come into contact with our deeper feelings, desires, instincts and possibilities. Experiencing this new space enables us to step into everyday life with a fresh outlook, renewed courage and additional tools to express ourselves.
During Biodanza we give expression to ourselves without words, dissolving the filters that we mostly unconsciously create through thinking and talking. We learn to meet each other from our essence - the heart - where differences disappear and similarities become noticeable. Biodanza encourages us to explore our senses, to experience hidden blockages and to transform them in a loving way. This creates space for who we really are in the here and now.
Biodanza uses music from all continents, with stimulating rhythms, compelling melodies, and the power to touch us as the highway to the heart. Without imposed steps we move in ways, and within the possibilities that feel good to us, with respect both for ourselves and for the other.
Biodanza gives the possibility to meet ourselves and others in new ways, discover who we really are, and show our true colours with pride and joy.
