Welcome to Biodanza Australia

Every Biodanza class is different. Joining a class means you get to go through a carefully designed progression of dances especially created for your group.

A session is usually around 1.5-2 hours. The session is delivered in a group, by an accredited facilitator (or facilitator under supervision). 

The beginning of the session includes a time for questions and sharing, and a brief introduction to the session by the facilitator. 

Each session has a unique theme and purpose with invitations to move to music. There are particular invitations of vital dances, motor integration dances, games, fluidity movements, generative postures, and some inner reflective dances as well as many more.

We recommend that you wear comfortable clothes and dance barefoot or with light dance/sport shoes (socks are not recommended in case of slipping).

Biodanza is always offered in a group setting. You are welcome to bring friends with you, or come by yourself. It’s a key feature of the method to offer a dynamic, social space for fun and interaction with others that develops our capacity to appreciate diversity and connect authentically in feedback.

If you feel ready to try or join Biodanza, you can find out where sessions are available here. 

Many facilitators offer Taster/Free/Try It sessions before a course of sessions starts.  

If you have any questions we haven’t answered on this site, please contact us or contact a facilitator in your area.

There are 3 parts to a weekly session:

• an optional verbal sharing by participants about their previous session and time for any questions;
• a brief introduction by the facilitator of the week's theme;
• an hour plus of invitations to dance flowing from active and rhythmic dances to slower and more melodic.

The facilitator will often demonstrate their version of the dance before inviting participants to move and dance as they feel - expressing through their own movement. 

Biodanza sessions are suitable for everyone, regardless of age or ability. You don’t have to be able to dance or have a certain level of fitness or co-ordination to do Biodanza. You are always encouraged to move in a way that is comfortable for you.

We play a wide variety of music encompassing various styles and beautiful tracks from all over the world from Rock to African, Jazz to Ethnic, Latin to Classical, etc.

The music in Biodanza is specific for each dance and is very carefully chosen by a Board of didacts around the world. Each piece has been researched to support invoke the particular vivencia invited by particular dances.

Yes! Many people who do Biodanza may feel a bit shy at first but the more you do Biodanza, the more your confidence in yourself will have a chance to develop.

The invitation in Biodanza is for people to show up as they are and express themselves authentically, as they feel in the moment.

The sessions are intended to be a safe and encouraging environment for you to find your sense of inner joy, ease and confidence.
