Biodanza with Andrew – Categories of Movement

Biodanza is an invitation to the joy of living, the pleasure of movement and dancing through music.

Rolando proposed twenty two aspects of movement that have four types of categorisation that will be covered in the class

Well-being:

Vitality

Rhythm

Fluidity

Voluntary Control

Capacity to Resist

Capacity for Regression

Well-being is the internal feelings that we get in allowing the whole of ourselves to be and to be integrated within our neuro-motor system. How we face life is part of our internal well-being.

Physical Structures

Posture

Balance

Oscillation

Muscle Tone

Synergy

How we are in our body and its physical posture that we hold in the majority of our lives – it is one’s attitude towards our existence. Our 3 main centres are the head, the chest and the pelvis.

Capacity to interact with others

Capacity for Contact

Eutony

Syntony

Feedback – Receptivity

Feedback Initiative

The ease of which we can approach another person or people to enable mutual tenderness to occur

Quality of Movement and Flexibility

Levity

Sensitivity

Sensuality

Extension

Elasticity

Flexibility

Our lightness, and the way we physically move in the activities that we carry out in life.

For me I love having lightness in my body that allows me to feel free with sensitivity and freedom just to be. Biodanza has taught me to listen to my instincts and intuition and these things alongside my movements are what guides me through life – its less about the outcome and more of enjoying the journey. Happiness is what you make of it, and being receptive in feedback with what life supplies. Im a realistic and I flow with what life gives me.

“Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it… that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.”

Dale Carnegie

No steps to learn, and freedom to just be yourself.

Biodanza is for single people, in a relationship and anything in between. Inclusivity is the ambition

Second Class FREE

To make Biodanza more accessible to more new people and to grow our ever expanding community in Warwickshire, and accepting it can take the body a while to integrate something new, I am offering to all new dancers, your second class FREE.

Booking and Paying

There are three payment tiers. Please decide which tier you fit into and it would be great if you make you payment before class, saves on the admin time.

Biodanza for the first time?

We are an open, welcoming, mullti generational group. All ages welcome from 18-80.

Each class is an invitation to dance, you only do what feels right for you

The dances are explained and demonstrated.

There is an active part of the class and a relaxing part of the class

Wear comfortable clothes to dance in and warmer/cooler layers for when we are active or resting.

We usually dance in bare feet (please get in touch if you need more details).

Why not give it a go?

I hope to see you soon.

Until next time, with warm wishes,

Andrew, x
