Biodanza: A Six Week Deepening Series

Schedule

Tue, 13 Jan, 2026 at 07:30 pm

UTC-05:00

Location

Cocoon Philly | Bala Cynwyd, PA


Join us for a six-week dive into the splendor of Biodanza, a progressive journey through music, movement, and connection. Commitment matters! The weekly structure allows us to deepen and grow together in vibrant, nurturing community.
While drop-ins offer a taste of the practice, this closed series creates the consistency and safety needed to truly dive in. With the same group journeying together each week, trust deepens, movement becomes freer, and the emotional and relational growth expands with every session.
Through guided movement and music, we’ll explore the power of Biodanza to (re)awaken emotion, recover instinct, promote self-expression, foster joy, invite intimacy, and cultivate affective human bonds. Whether you’re a seasoned mover or a curious beginner, this somatic journey promises a powerful experience that celebrates our shared aliveness. Come discover the magic of The Dance of Life!

What is Biodanza?
The word Biodanza literally translates to “The Dance of Life.” Founded in the 1960s by Chilean anthropologist and psychologist Rolando Toro, it’s a system of somatic and relational self-development that blends dance, music, archetypal gestures, and intentional connection to awaken five lines of life force: vitality, sexuality, creativity, affectivity, and transcendence.
This practice fosters reconnection with our instincts, emotions, and the body itself — as well as with one another through presence and movement. Sometimes called “The Poetry of Human Encounter,” Biodanza is truly a masterclass in embodied love.
