Description
Biodanza means Dance of Life. It is a dance of heart and freedom from South America. It's a system that integrates music and movement; it also makes possible to establish an authentic relationship with yourself, with other people and with the environment. Biodanza creates experiences of intense awareness of being alive in the here-and-now.
The word trance originates etymologically from the term "transir," to transit, to transport oneself, to move from one state into another. Its usual meaning is to change one’s state of consciousness.
In Biodanza, transcendence consists of the natural function of human beings to establish essential connections with everything that exists: other human beings, animals, plants and minerals - in short, with the cosmic whole. To transcend is to overcome a limit. Frequently we speak of transcending to a new level of reality after death.
In Biodanza the concept of transcendence refers to overcoming the force of the ego and going beyond our perception of ourselves in order to identify with the unity of nature and with people’s essence. People who cannot leave behind self-consciousness are unable to enter into a transcendent experience.
The trances induced during the exercises and ceremonies of Biodanza are integrative. During the integrative trance states of anxiety disappear and the doors of peception starts to open. Coming out of an integrative trance has the quality of "rebirth." The trance of Biodanza has profound "reparenting" effects.
The experiences of “falling into trance,” “entering into trance,” refer to a psycho-physiologic mechanism in which the person surrenders him or herself to certain external or internal conditions in order to enter a different state of consciousness.
Biodanza is a delicate but deeply transforming work on consciousness, based on working with the body, body movement and dancing.
- Integrates body, mind, emotions and soul.
- Arouses vitality, creativity, sensuality and emotionality.
- Teaches openness, joy, building good relationships and expressing emotions.

Celebrating life is a goal of Biodanza. It stimulates community bounds and makes establishing relationships easier, as well as helps participants regain joy and vitality to celebrate the sacredness of life. It makes a way to feel happy, healthy and more confident, with strengthened self-esteem, also improving the ability to make choices.
Biodanza is a delicate but deeply transforming work on consciousness which awakens for universal solidarity, based on working with the body, body movement and dancing.
- Integrates body, mind, emotions and soul.
- Arouses vitality, creativity, sensuality and emotionality.
- Teaches openness, joy, building good relationships and expressing emotions.
Feeling the connection with your body, emotions and energy, makes the transformation occur. These experiences are called "vivencias". They allow access to our primal emotions and help with the most natural expression of true self to emerge through movement.
“Biodanza represents the primordial energy pattern of deep connection and freedom of expression, beauty, enthusiasm and passion. It lives through the original thirst that our species has of health, love, pleasure and well-being. It is translated by the impulse to dive deep into the world of sensations. It is guided by the compass that lives in our heart, connecting us with the need and the desire to give and receive love. It teaches us to recognize that love is an art, just as life.” (Cristiano Martins)
Biodanza is based on psychological and philosophical research, dance anthropology and traditional rituals. One of the teachers explains the origin of the word "biodanza" from the Greek bios meaning life, and from the Spanish danza which means dance.
Workshop is based on personal, direct experience - individually, in pairs, subgroups or in a group of all participants. There is music, movement and dance to enable the creation of harmony and closeness in interpersonal relations.
Rolando Toro Biodanza System is a method that works on every human being’s potential.
It reveals various possibilities and forms of expression to us. It is based on the positive resources of each of us, according to the author's method - the creator of the system, prof. Rolando Toro. Her father is a psychologist, anthropologist, poet and artist from Chile. And since the 1960s, system itself has been distributed in over 30 countries around the world as a method of personal development.
Biodanza draws our attention into building relationships and bonds between people through eye contact. An eye contact is considered as the fundamental base of a beautiful and meaningful communication without words. This also helps to open the heart, transform person's needs and desires and to be ready for new experiences.
