Biodanza World Association BWA - Dancing Life

Paticia Martello and Marcello Di Matteo present the Biodanza

The crisis of our times seems a crisis in our way of perceiving the world and ourselves, a crisis in our sensitivity and identity.

Town dwellers in particular find themselves submerged under obligations and duties to perform in stereotyped ways. They have to give in to an altered time dimension, due to acceleration: always more things to do, more tasks, which make them run against the clock, further more: against their true human being.

Stress, the invisible enemy, is part of our life and takes so many names such as tiredness, irritation, anxiety, insomnia, impotence, frigidity, depression

What quality of life can we have with such a normal behavior, so fast and frenetic, so far removed from an authentic feeling mode? What quality can life have, without contact with the natural, organics rhythms of life?

What happened to our sensitivity that tells us when we need rest or more agility in our movements, when we need warmth and human contact, when we need protection and human care?

We end up favouring intellectual knowledge and rationality, and lose our link with the heart of things and living beings: our instincts.

The interest of Biodanza consists in inverting these un natural tendencies, as it seeks to give priority back to our corporal experience, human encounter and sensitivity.

We can dance our own life in its uniqueness, in harmony with the others and with our environment. We can experience a vivencia (living experience) of ourselves, living in the moment, dancing a harmonious relationship between nature and our human essence. We can also abandon our self to the listening of our own perceptions and emotions.

Eating and sleeping, having money and a house or a car are not our only needs to fulfill happiness in life: we also need friendship, love, healthy joy, emotional balance and harmony, and to be able to express and communicate from our true hearts.

What corresponds to our needs is what nurtures us: all those things that touch our heart and generate poetic gestures of aliveness.

Biodanza produces this natural gestures that enable us to recover our organic movement and the most sincere expression of our very selves.

We propose this as the pathway of real and profound happiness in life.
