Biodanza Classes and Events

What is Biodanza?

Biodanza, ‘The Dance of Life’ is a system of improvised movements which originally was developed in the 1960s by the Chilean psychologist Rolando Toro, and now is loved by people in 54 countries. The system brings to today’s world dances and body movements from ancient and modern traditions. You will be dancing solo, in twos and in groups. There are fast dances for physical well-being and vitality, and slow exercises which helps relieve the stress of your busy week.

Biodanza is suitable for anyone, of any age and any ability.
