Whether you're a seasoned dancer or new to Biodanza, this event is open for everyone. Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with others and start your weekend with great vibes. See you there!
Awaken your vital energy for healthy, pleasurable living through a fusion of music, movement, dance and encounters with other people. Biodanza is about fun, guided expressive movement that brings a sense of renewal and optimism. Over time it can lead to profound personal growth and a richer experience of our inner and outer world.
What happens in a session?
Biodanza is offered in a group setting and is a facilitator guided movement class. The dancing portion of the evening involves an explanation of each dance with the facilitator sharing their dance for most dances, followed by the invitation to dance either as a group, individually within the group or in pairs. Participants explore movement, rhythm, emotion, and self-expression, unfolding into an experience of vivencia – which means to be vividly alive in the present moment.
Participants commonly share that they leave Biodanza sessions feeling more energetic, content, relaxed and connected with people and life again. Research shows that this sense of wellbeing comes from the major biochemical and neurological rebalancing that happens in the body during a session.
Do I need any prior experience?
Everyone is welcome and no dance experience is required.There are no steps to learn and nothing to get right. It is a space for you to enjoy freedom of expression, to connect to your body and be more present with yourself and others.We start the sessions with a brief introduction followed by a facilitator guided movement class so there's nothing you need to know in advance!
What should I bring?
It’s a great idea to bring a water bottle and to wear comfortable, layered clothing that you can move in. We don’t wear shoes in Biodanza, so please be prepared to dance barefoot or to wear nonslip socks.
