(Extract from www.biodanza.co.za)

The word Biodanza means to dance with life. Developed by a Chilean psychologist, it reduces stress through combining music, movement and the expression of emotion. With regular classes, you experience a significant improvement in your sense of wellbeing. You handle stress better by increasing your ability to communicate and improving the quality of your relationships.
As you attend regular Biodanza classes, it becomes a new way of living – putting life first by connecting from your heart. This deepens your connection with what is truly important to you in Life. In this way, Biodanza becomes a system of personal and human development.

Have you ever danced until you flew?
Danced so hard, so fast,
so freely that you reach a level of overwhelming, ecstatic joy?
If you havent you should – it can change your life.
Mike Aldridge, Ecstasy through Dance, Namaste, Vol 9

Biodanza is a system of stress relief and personal development aimed at putting life first.

Every individual participant in a Biodanza class will have his or her own idea of what it means to put life first. But every one of them will leave that class with a renewed sense of vigour and lust for life.

In our day-to-day lives, our nervous systems are chronically under assault from the negative pressures we encounter and rarely have a chance to switch off. People live in chronic hostility, anger, anxiety, fear or depression. In the long run, this leads to serious health problems and unhappy, difficult lives.

Biodanza uses a combination of music, movement and expression to help people to tap into their innate sense of joy, self esteem and self confidence, creating feelings of connectedness and love for themselves and others. It enables people to break out of the continuous cycle of pressure and stress created by the frantic pace of modern living and to balance this with moments of intense pleasure, called vivencias.

Who Is It For?
The short answer? Everyone. People of all ages, from all walks of life, can benefit from Biodanza classes. Singles, couples, stressed-out executives and children can draw immeasurable pleasure and wellbeing from regular Biodanza classes. Many companies have also enjoyed tremendous success using Biodanza for team building. Everyone can benefit from Biodanza because its very essence is pure, direct and heartfelt communication.

 

How Does It Help?
Youll leave your very first Biodanza class feeling happier, more relaxed, and more open to communication from and with others. The combination of music, dance and emotion sets the bodys chemistry in motion, bringing about a major biochemical and neurological rebalancing and resulting in a greater sense of well-being. For many people, this chemical rebalancing brings about profound changes in their lives.

Most commonly, the benefits people report are:

• Reduced Stress Levels
• Stress is what happens when life starts to get on top of you. Whether its because of work, money, love, home life, or any number or combination of lifes pressures, we all experience stress at some point. Biodanza gives you a space in which to come back to yourself and regain your balance.
• Improved Communication
• The ability to communicate determines ones relative success and happiness in life. It affects ones progress at work, ones ability to socialise, ones level of domestic happiness and how one is perceived socially. Through regular Biodanza classes, your ability to communicate deeply changes in subtle ways. You are more you. More confident. More able to know what you want and how to express it more easily.
• Better RelationshipsBiodanza for Couples
• In Biodanza, peoples natural sense of connection to and affectivity for others is restored and enhanced, allowing them to renew or strengthen bonds with the people in their lives and to successfully establish new relationships with others.

(Note: Where there are specific problems within a married couple, it is recommended that partners undertake professional counselling in conjunction with Biodanza. If in doubt, speak to your facilitator.)

A little about my self: Since as early as I can remember my older sister would tell me how I should speak to and act if I were to win the hearts of girls – be nice, do it this way…….and so on. I took notice of what she said – though it wasn’t enough – it was a start. And then I found my own way, through connection with the land, nature and my own life’s experiences – never loosing my sensitivity to the interconnectedness of life – that my sister alluded to in her advice to me.

It took many years to combine my intense analytical ability, which I thoroughly enjoyed as a means to learn about the nature of things in everyday living, with an ability to recognize that I was indeed a living, breathing, feeling human being – who loved music and more recently realized through exposure to Biodanza – who loved the opportunity to move to that music, to dance in diverse ways, to experiment and learn about my own identity and how I interacted with others – I felt like I was being rehabilitated from a life of confusion and despair into a world of clarity of purpose and action. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]Biodanza is not just an hour or two of dance for me, it is a way of living; of movement bringing together my feelings, thoughts and ideas with my body – a body released to serve its natural purpose – to interact and communicate with the world around me – from the world within me

Now as a facilitator I have the pleasure to introduce to those who have never experienced Biodanza before the progressive stages of evolvement of the system, as well as taking those with more experience into realms of experience never before thought possible – in what becomes a wonderful form of personal development through the integration of body, mind and soul.

When we first arrive at a Biodanza class we have no idea of what will happen next – in amongst all these strangers – so be assured that I am sensitive to your concerns and will guide you progressively through many classes and stages of your own movement and interaction with those who share the same space with you. This is an adventure with enormous possibilities and at no risk, or if you feel a little ‘risk’ coming on – that you avail yourself of the support system on offer.

Support Systems: In the early stages of one’s experience of Biodanza and the world we live in, as with any new approach to life, and sometimes later on too, there may be times when we wish we had someone to speak to about how we are feeling; our facilitator is the obvious first choice – and I would like you to know that I am always available to you in support. For some though, even a good listening, sensitive male facilitator may not be the ideal candidate for your needs.

So I would like you to know that there are many women facilitators in South Africa and for that matter around the world, who are available to be there for you, should you need support. Neither I nor my fellow facilitators make this offer assuming the role of therapist but rather as a friend who may have been there or somewhere similar – where you are now – and through a healthy sense of taking responsibility, have found our way forward into a new world of experience based in mutual wellbeing and happiness.

For the past few months I have been going to Biodanza with Arno te Braake at Eagles View in Winston Park. It brings so much joy to me. No matter how sad and down you feel when you arrive, you leave feeling uplifted and rejuvenated. I love the way Biodanza allows you to express so many aspects of yourself. It brings out emotions of love, joy, anger and even excitement in a way that is fun and good for the body. I am attending a full day workshop on the 19th November. I am so excited about this.  [Traci French from Body and Mind]

 

I want to express a huge THANK YOU to Arno of Biodanza KZN for rendering an amazing Biodanza class last night at Eaglesview yoga studio. It was exhilarating, fun and full of laughter. Im looking forward to the next class in June. Thank you Arno.
