dancing - enjoying - growing
What is Biodanza?
Biodanza creates the ideal conditions to stimulate the best in yourself: joie de vivre, psycho-somatic balance, sexual development, individual expression, adaptability, relational intelligence, sense of harmony. We experience it all and in our own way.
​
Biodanza® originated in a clinical environment. The practice has been built up and enriched by the input of many psychologists. It is a scientific discipline before becoming an art of living. Biodanza has evolved to meet the growing need for meaning, joy and cohesion in life.
​
Combining humanities and ancestral wisdom, Biodanza proposes a new outlook on life consisting of enthusiasm and balance, love and strength, cohesion and resourcefulness, self-knowledge and spiritual awakening.
​
It is a system of human development where enjoyment is the impetus for evolution. Biodanza is accessible to everyone. Explanations and testimonials are interesting, but nothing is as valuable as your own experience.
So try it yourself!

“My proposal is not just for dancing. It is about activating through certain dances the emotional and communicative possibilities that allow us to connect with ourselves, with our fellow human beings and with nature.”

“Dance is a profound movement that comes from what is most visceral in the human being. Dance is the movement of life, biological rhythm, heartbeat, breathing movement. It is the impulse that drives people to connect with each other. It is also a movement towards oneself, a movement of intimacy.”
Rolando Toro Araneda
