Biodanza – Starting in Halton 7th October 2025
Do you want to move your body?
Meet new people?
And have some fun?
Biodanza is dance based system of movement to a wide variety of music from all over the world practised by many people. It is an internationally recognised system with classes and schools world wide.
Biodanza comes from the Greek words bios meaning life and danza from integrated movement, which is why it is called the Dance of Life. Dancing has proven effects on both our physical and mental health, whilst with others it gives a sense of connection and feelings of belonging.
Created by Rolando Toro in the 1960s in Chile, South America, Biodanza invites people to move to music in their own unique way. There are no rules, steps or choreography involved. Nothing is obligatory in Biodanza, you dance how you want to, respecting your body and listening to your own needs. All whilst having fun with others.
Dancing in the present moment is to experience life right now and to feel alive. Biodanza creates intense unique and joyful classes called vivencias based on having a sense of vitality and then feelings of relaxation.
With Biodanza we learn to live with more ease, flow and motivation. Moving our bodies as we choose and connecting with ourselves often results in being less in our heads and more in touch with our emotions. For this reason we don’t talk during vivencias.
Biodanza helps to balance our nervous systems through joy, laughter and positive connection with others. When we become more connected to our emotions, we’re able to feel them and move through them easier. This is where moving to music with others in a safe space helps to have more confidence, freedom, personal power, compassion and a more fulfilling life.
Everybody is welcome in Biodanza and it is suitable for all ages (over 16) and abilities as you move in ways that are right for you. We dance barefoot or in non-slippy socks if you prefer. Wear comfortable clothing, bring water and an open mind to move to the music!
With words not doing this amazing practice justice, I invite you to come along and experience it for yourself. I look forward to dancing with you.
