Hi, I am Babsi! And I love Biodanza!  
I so look forward to sharing this life-changing practice with you!

​

What is Biodanza?

 

Biodanza, which means “dance of life,” is a globally practiced healing system that integrates inspiring music, authentic movement, and heartfelt connection with all of life. Referred to as the “poetry of human encounter,” this beautiful practice nurtures our innate potentials to celebrate life to the fullest and to open our hearts to ourselves, each other, and the world.

​

Biodanza originated in the 60s in Chile and Brazil, under the wings of anthropologist, psychologist and artist Rolando Toro, Ph.D. Since then, Biodanza has spread to all continents. Every day, thousands of groups all over the world join in the Dance of Life.

​

Here a more extensive definition by Roldando Toro, Ph.D.:

 

“Biodanza is a system of acceleration of integrative existential processes: psychological, neurological, endocrinological, and immunological. The practice is based on the creation of an enriched environment with carefully selected stimuli. The proposal is through music, exercises and dynamics capable of generating experiences that stimulate neuronal plasticity. The experiences stimulate the creation of new synaptic networks that awaken a series of potentials which previously had no means of expression. It’s a highly integrative process, which has prophylactic and curative effects.” (Rolando Toro Araneda)

​

There are over 2500 facilitators worldwide, and over 250 schools of Biodanza. I am so grateful to all my teachers of Biodanza, and I look forward to sharing this amazing practice with you!

​

What is a Biodanza class?

​

In every Biodanza class, we practice the joy of being alive in the here and now. Facilitators guide participants through a carefully crafted sequence of exercises and beautiful music to create a nourishing environment for an integrative, restorative, and healing experience.

​

During a 90-minute period, participants enter a journey that begins with an active and playful phase and then carefully transitions into a relaxing, deeply replenishing phase. The facilitators invite participants to dance in the welcoming circle of the group, in a variety of connective exercises in small groups or partner exercises, in deep intimacy with yourself, and in expansive connection with all of life.

​

Each Biodanza class is designed AS an ecosystem. Facilitators intentionally prepare an organic sequence of exercises that embody nature's wisdom, enriched by a carefully curated nurturing environment.
