A very big welcome to the newcomers to this exciting and uplifting event. AND a very big welcome back to our regular attenders. After a brief summer break we are restarting this series once again for your benefit and delight! The various sessions are based on Biodanza (from the Greek bio [life] and Spanish danza [dance]). Biodanza is a self-development system created by Chilean anthropologist Rolando Toro Araneda in the 1960s. It uses music, movement, and group interaction  to improve self-awareness, emotional expression, and well-being. It is often described as "The Dance of Life".

Dancing can improve your cardiovascular health, build strength, and enhance flexibility while simultaneously releasing endorphins that reduce stress and elevate mood. It also engages the brain, boosting memory and cognitive function through spatial awareness and movement coordination.These are  surely great reasons to, at least, give it a try!
