Biodanza is a world renowned movement and personal development practice based on music, dance and connection - it was created in the 1970s by Rolando Toro Araneda a philosopher, poet, anthropologist and psychiatrist from Chile. Because body feelings are often neglected, if we move expressively, letting go of our thoughts - we can increase our awareness of feelings in the body. ๐ป๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐.
Increasing our body awareness helps us be more sensitive to our own and others feelings and the choices we make to rest or
engage - in Biodanza this is known as ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ and ๐๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.
In Biodanza the music is our vehicle - if we are open to it, and with the right conditions - ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.
In Biodanza ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐. This is sharing presence - itโs simple and can also be very powerful!
When we dance and connect affectively, this releases
serotonin
endorphins
dopamine
and oxytocin.
These can change our state of mind, body and even deeper at soul level - ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐.
Biodanza can help us to to ๐๐-๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.
Through increasing body awareness and expression - Biodanza can ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐, and to ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐.
Regular attendance is encouraged - but everyone is welcome to try and no dance experience is necessary. If you are someone who has ever enjoyed the feeling of music moving you - then you are likely to love and want to discover more of.

In the session the group will gradually together create a state of deep relaxation and on occasion explore themes such as sensual movement and affective touch- for this reason the events are limited to adults only. Biodanza is also beneficial for children to help build relational and creative skills - please keep in touch with this group to hear more about future Biodanza events dedicated especially for families.
