“Biodanza” (literally “Dance of life”) Rolando Toro Model
“Biodanza”
MUSIC, PHYSICAL MOVEMENT, EXPRESSIVE COMMUNICATION, FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL’S ARMONICAL DEVELOPMENT
What does “Biodanza” mean?
“Biodanza” is an activity based on the body expression created by Prof. Rolando Toro, a Chilean antropologist and psychologist during the 60’s. Nowadays it is practiced all over the world. Rolando Toro’s goal was promoting a situation of better well-being and health involving all the human areas – the physical, psychological and emotional one- connected to people, society and environment. His method, wich was able to develop a new vision referred to ourselves and the world around us, is the integrative “vivencia” that is a strongly deep experience happened in the present moment (“here and now”). Music, spontaneous movement, interaction with other people from the group offer the opportunity to see with new eyes and respect the natural biological rythms, every individual’s potentialities concerning his/her authentical expression and better forms to connect with other prople. “Biodanza” is a process that promotes the individual wellbeing from a psychological and physical point of view.
How it is possible to practice “Biodanza”?
“Biodanza” is an activity that unables the body to move. It is for everybody at every age, because special physical skills and dispositions are not requested. In particular a performance is not needed. It is practiced once a week in 2 hours lessons. Furthermore it is possible to join additional stages and theme meetings.
If you practice “Biodanza” you can:
- reduce stress level and boost your mood
- recover the natural biological rythms
- improve your ability to build new relationships
- experience a fulfilled self-expression
- appreciate and put in practice spontaneous and authentical body expressions
- go back to your old potentialities
- meet new people
- If you practice “Biodanza”, you can go deeply into the old pleasure to live all the most important experiences through meeting other people and in particular yourself.
- “Biodanza” is a bridge between people
- Meeting other people and discovering a new self you can boost your mood and your assertiveness.
This happens according to the natural principle that shows that everything can finally manifest and fulfill when we are open-minded, happy and trustful.
Practicing “Biodanza” you will never face random emotions but always the ones called “healthy emotions”.
We are talking about those emotions that, thanks to their inner qualities, are able to rise the dancer to his/her maximum level of health in connection with the sorrounding world.
“BIODANZA” IS THE POETIC ESSENCE OF CONNECTING WITH OTHER PEOPLE
