OCTOBER 12th and 13th GRAND OPENING OF THE 5th CYCLE of the FACILITATOR TRAINING
Ana Paula shares the power of her profound experiences of Biodanza at the London School of Biodanza: Our student Ana Paula made this video after a school weekend in November on the subject of Vitality, our life force. The title of the exercise she refers to is ‘To learn how to fly’. If you watch the u-tube version of Antonio Sarpe, Biodanza school director of Lisbon (see below) demonstrating this exercise you will see the whole of it to completion and then realise how important what Ana Paula describes as her experience is, a testimony to the endless possibilities for our personal response within the structure of the system of Biodanza and the fact that by dancing each exercise we are able to gain understanding of what we need in life and the freedom to experience it. https://youtu.be/jParI_8durw
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 fourth 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 Federation, 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.
