As the year comes to a close, it’s time to reflect on just how much our members have done to get Biodanza established in the UK – whether offering teacher training, inviting guest teachers from abroad, organising festivals and special events, facilitating weekly groups, studying to become a facilitator, or working behind the scenes to raise awareness of this wonderful system.
