Richmond) a …

Biodanza is being a wonderful gift that I received 20 years ago. Sharing with others this transformational practice is my way to show my gratitude to Rolando Toro, its creator. Biodanza invites one to explore ways of feeling intensely the joy and pleasure of being alive. A system that uses music, movements and “vivencia” (the living experience to be in the here and now) Biodanza encourages connection with oneself, with another and with the group, in a process that builds up a safe environment th …
