We are a School for Life. We believe we offer the most Emotionally Intelligent
and Comprehensive Self-development programme you can experience. Curious? The
best way to learn more about how to enrol for our third cycle is to contact us
from this website. Whether you’re inspired by a personal call to grow and
discover new possibilities for your life, or you want to develop a new
professional vocation or you’re looking to widen your social connections our
Biodanza school is ready to welcome you. Each training‘cycle’ lasts three years
plus time to prepare a ‘Monography’ (final thesis). Attendance is approximately
one weekend a month, usually for nine months of the year. You’re welcome to come
either as a student or as a regular dancer to experience Biodanza at a deeper
level. Our students come from all backgrounds and represent a wide age range.
You can participate in Biodanza at any age throughout your life. We are
certified by the IBF, International Biocentric Foundation, the worldwide
governing body which is, at present in more than 36 countries and we abide by
the code of conduct of the association of Biodanza teachers –
http://www.biodanzaassociation.uk, the representative body of teachers here in
the UK. The Rhythm of the School There is an organic rhythm to the school which
is created by the beautiful music we use for the vivencias. To have four
vivencias during each weekend is to dive deeply into yourself, with space to
explore through movement and dance. You are enabled to deeply embody Biodanza
within the safe environment of the school, discovering friendships and life
affirming connections with the others in your group, During each weekend of the
3 years’ training time is given to the presentation of the theoretical bases of
Biodanza, each of the first 20 weekends relate to the syllabus followed by all
registered Biodanza schools. The theory sits alongside the vital experiential
learning which comes from the vivencias. The last 8 modules focus on the
practical training, giving those students who wish to become facilitators the
tools to hold classes with confidence and who the Directors consider to be
ready. The Saturdays and Sundays of the School usually take place over the
second weekend of each month. Combined with your commitment to a regular weekly
group the school weekends will amplify your experience. What you can expect Our
training programme is an exploration of the poetry of movement, dance,
expression and communication. You’ll be a valued member of a school which has an
ethos of warmth, care, safety and a good measure of fun. You’ll experience the
personal transformative process while enjoying and trusting the journey,
supported along the way, and, in the final year, to develop the confidence and
ability to create your own classes from a strong sound base.
