Biodanza is based on the South American Biodanza method of 'Movement Full of Meaning'. It is a system of human integration that promotes health, happiness and well-being through music, movement and emotion, working in a group setting. Structured workshops, directed by a facilitator, take you through the exercises working with yourself, others and the whole group. The exercises are taken from everyday life. Anyone can do them - in their own way. From stepping, walking, sharing, breathing, laughing, vibrating, expressing, relating, unwinding vitality, sexuality and creativity . . . The experience of the workshops promotes and amplifies your perception and consciousness "to help you become the protagonist of your own life" (Rolando Toro, creator of the Biodanza system).
It is about falling in love with life. Falling in love with yourself, and finding the courage to look at yourself with respect and without criticism. It is about finding the pleasure in life again. It's simple and immediate. Biodanza works directly on opening people's sense of joy. The music, the exercises and the atmosphere of the class work together. Ten minutes into the class, people have already found their centre of innocence. This is the source of people's own inner joy, a joy which is similar to that of the two-year-old - confident, strong and from the heart. It releases the barriers that adults create in their minds. Biodanza cuts out the adult mind, therefore finding joy. It works with that joy and with regular classes this grows and matures. Over time people find life becomes a pleasure again.

All types of people of all age groups come. Single people, married couples and stressed out business executives. And all of them benefit from the type of healing found in the Biodanza process. Biodanza helps restore self esteem and self confidence. This is not created through verbalisation but rather through exercises which bring it out naturally. It is a strong, sound system of human development which has been developed over the past forty years and is now in over twenty countries world wide.

It works through five lines of vivencia. Each class works with all five lines - vitality, sexuality, affectivity, creativity and transcendence and awakens the essential instincts needed for a healthy life.

Biodanza is facilitated in South Africa by Carolina Churba, a member of the Rolando Toro School of Biodanza in England.
