I started Biodanza in  July 1997 aged 34, so it has been part of almost half my life now! I trained in London and was fortunate enough to dance with founder Rolando Toro Araneda on many occasions across the European continent and in South America.

I began the Dorset School of Biodanza in 2008 and ran 4 cycles at Osho Leela until the end of 2019, producing many fine teachers that continue to play their trade in various parts of the UK. I've been in no rush to resume after the enforced break of the pandemic, but October 2025 feels the right time to begin the training again in earnest, alongside graduate of the first cycle and now co-director Milarepa Burgin and assisted by Anna Sadler in admin/promo.

As the only residential school in the country we are open to accommodate dancers from all parts of Britain and beyond at the magnificent retreat centre in Dorset, Osho Leela.
