MORE BIODANZA EVENTS & CLASSES

Do you want to organise a Biodanza taster session in your group? If you can provide a suitable venue and arrange 10+ people to come, then why not see if this is possible.

What to wear:

Comfortable clothing suitable to dance in, to give complete freedom to move - layering is advisable- as you warm up and cool down. Bare feet preferred, but soft indoor dance shoes are fine. Sometimes there is close proximity in Biodanza - so please try and come fresh to the session, preferably no heavy perfume etc.

What to bring:

Bring bottled water, to drink within the session. A small towel or flannel can be good to mop up sweat.

The Class:
I will explain and demonstrate most exercises each week, then you will participate, so don't worry about remembering - Biodanza is about allowing the activity of the mind to quieten and so that you can enjoy the dance/movement, enjoy your body, enjoy connection and enjoy the music ( from Queen to South American,Beatles to classical, but all carefully chosen). The classes will gently progress along the system. Please arrive 5 or 10 mins before so we can start promptly. I encourage you to commit to a regular weekly class - the greatest benefit from Biodanza is gained from continuity over a period of time and allows the group to connect and unify - the exercises are more nourishing as you begin to get to know others more.

My Vision :

My aim is to create a safe, accepting, non-judgemental, loving space where each person's individual needs are honoured as much as possible whilst focussing on the harmony and connection within the whole group. The group is very important as it provides containment, safety, love and a mirror to each person's uniqueness.I invite you all to see through the heart, with kind eyes, both others and yourself. It is your group and each one of you is important to the group,over the weeks you will see this in action and how much you are missed if you cannot attend.

What people have said about Biodanza and my classes/ shared days:

"The Biodanza day was so so special, BEAUTY all around, a very held space, love in abundance, being part of tribe, being met and witnessed and seen and accepted in extreme vulnerability. Deeply healing and that is because of you -what you create. I thank you from the bottom of my heart", Suzanne Kraft about 18/3/12

"Thank you for a wonderful day on Sunday. I loved your clear facilitation and the stillness of the group. I found myself smiling all day and really experiencing the joy of expressing myself through dancing and the "aliveness" of life as I danced. My heart opened as I arrived and I felt full when I left. What a special Mothers' Day celebration! This was my third Biodanza day and I'm looking forward to more...Warmly, Ann", Ann Ross about 18/3/12

"Biodanza for me is holistic therapy for mind, body and soul that facilitates inter-connection with mind, body and soul of other people as well as enabling us to identify with and learn to love our inner-selves. By learning this, we can better connect with others in a totally non-threatening and very warm, caring and loving way (in a platonic sense at least). Biodanza for me is completely affirming of humanity and when you let go of the trials and tribulations which may be engulfing your life, your own mind, body and spirit can receive a life giving energy and sense of deep joy beyond anything I've ever experienced before. The interaction with other members of the group each week has, over the relatively short time I've been attending, inceased my confidence and self-esteem greatly. It has also shown me possible ways forward for me in terms of future relationships in that I now believe this to be possible which I didn't before. I now know various ways in which I can "connect" with other souls and which in itself may offer up other paths on life's journey to share with others. Biodanza is a beautiful experience as are the people who share this experience and I feel richly blessed by the opportunity to be part of your classes. Thank you Jewell for all that you do to make Biodanza the special, life affirming and life-giving dance that it is. " Yvonne Taylor

"I really appreciate the love, passion and care that you brought to it and found your teaching style very smooth and beautiful. You helped us all to feel at ease and open to ourselves and the essence of the exercises, I enjoyed it and felt the love! I felt polished and brighter", Dan Mills

"When I arrived for the session I was feeling rushed and stressed. The room was beautifully prepared by Julia and felt calm and clear. Straight away I could feel myself unwinding. The exercises were simple and easy to follow and a mixture of energetic and more flowing and sensuous. By the end of the session I felt completely different - more integrated and peaceful and deeply nourished. It was just whatI needed", Katheryn Hope
