in joy
Weekly group
"I took part in the weekly Biodanza sessions in Bansko and it was such a joy!
Assaf guided us each week through a new theme and opened a space
of movement, joy, soul expression, feeling, connection and community.
I observed how I landed more in my body, how much more playful
I became in everyday life and how a deeper sense of belonging grew in me.
I appreciated how Assaf brought together spirituality and the groundedness of Biodanza.
I enjoyed the sharing circles at the beginning, hearing what was alive in everyone and making new friends.
I recommend joining a regular or single Biodanza session and feeling this magic yourself".
a feedback from Lisa ,a special bio-dancer.
Biodanza is a beautiful method of dance, encounters and contacts through music: contact with myself, contact with the other, contact with the group, contact with the cosmos. It was developed in Chile and Argentina during the 70, and since then has spread throughout most of the countries in south America and Europe.
Through a structural and guided workshop of simply dancing and meetings with a very joyful and vivid music, we pass through an emotional experience of joy, integration, affectivity, vitality and depth.
The music plays a very important role in the activity - we dance to the best samba, latin, jazz, balkan, afro, classical, new age, disco, pop, shamanic and on and on. The pieces are carefully chosen and put together in a specific order in the purpose of creating an integrated organic process of experience.
The activity is about 2 hours workshop, and is called "vivencia" a word that is based on the Spanish word "vivir"– to live.
In the biodanza we create an intensive emotional experience, always positive, always happy. through dancing together in a group, couples, and alone, and simply having fun, we allow ourselves a deep and easy going process of therapy.
Most of the exercises are scientifically checked and proved to be beneficial
for all the systems of the body.
One of the big secrets of the biodanza is a deep understanding that the human being is a very social creature. By facilitating
joyful and vivid human encounters through dance, games and physical contact, we permit ourselves to feel the experience of the tribe. We see ourselves through the eyes of the other.
