If you can walk…

Biodanza is about YOU.
YOU and dancing.
This week, I want to talk about something I heard quite often about dance. People say ‘I cannot dance’.
And it’s directly related to the conception we have about dance.
What is actually dance ?
Most often dance is perceived as something to watch rather than something to experience. Or at least, if you experience it, it is to become able to do what you can see in shows, whatever is the style of these dances.
It means that the outside is more important than the inside. it means that what others will perceive and/or think is more important than what you experience when you are actually dancing.
It means that all the time the reference is somewhere outside of you, outside of us. We are all the time doing things to conform ourselves to what was told to us that was good, or to what is considered as a reference.
If you take a closer look to this, it is a usual perception and behaviour for quite everything. Always trying to reach things that are out of us, always trying to model others who achieved what we would like to achieve.
That’s not bad nor good, that’s merely the way we are educated and the culture we are living in.
Biodanza is an invitation to change the reference by starting from what we feel and experience inside of us. Rather than doing anything to show others what we can do. Rather than doing anything to be seen and considered/loved by others.
Connecting to oneself is essential as no one else than you knows what is good for you, nobody can’t tell you what you can or cannot do. Only connecting to your feelings can allow you to take the right step toward your goals and dreams in life.
Finally if you need a definition of ‘dance’, here is one that is really relevant:
“dance is a meaningful movement to music”
The important word here is meaningful, and again the meaning is the one YOU give to YOUR dance, not anyone else.
So if you can walk, you can dance.

Rolando Toro demonstrtating

Go watch this wonderful video of a vivenvia taught by Rolando Toro in 2007

If you click on the picture here above you will watch a video taken during a vivencia taught by Rolando Toro himself. He doesn’t appear in this short video. It was in Summer 2007 in the South of France when he came, invited by our school of Toulouse to teach the module about biocentric education.

There was more than 150 people and we as students of the school organised everything. it was one of the most wonderful and amazing Biodanza experience I have ever had.

We also had the chance to “explore the unknown” for the 2 next days with him.

I will never forget this week-end.

Today, the School of Toulouse where I trained doesn’t existe anymore.

Today, the genius creator of the Biodanza system doesn’t exist anywhere else than in our souvenirs and in our hearts.

I am not sad.

Constantly things and beings are dying.

Continuously things and beings are born.

That’s life in itself, cycles, rhythmns, disappearing, birth.

That’s why I invite you to celebrate Rolando Toro this Sunday with Joy and Pleasure, my constant hosts in my class.

we will celebrate Rolando Toro and the wonderful and powerful systel he has created. We will celebrate Life and its constant changes.

Reminder: this class on next Sunday is not open to absolute beginners. If you have taken part in at least one class of Biodanza before, you are very welcome.

Announcements:

  • I am still looking for people who are ok to be interviewed before and after the class. If you are ready, it can happen this Sunday.

To our loved family of Biodanza

in Special event, biodanza

It i s with great sadness that we share with you the passing of our dearest Rolando Toro Araneda the great creator of this amazing system , his great poem.

He has been accompanied this Thursday 18 february in his journey to dance with the stars.

He shall return to the great embrace of his beloved Mother Earth, in the Cementary of Parque del recuerdo, Av. Americo Vespucio 555, Friday 19 February during the morning, time to be confrimed.

Please pass on the news to all the community.


The last Judgement

Because the end is the beginning
where young and old
contemplate each other
turn your face to the old orchads,
to the parting ship which is drifting away,
with all your childhood in its dark hold
turn towards infinite with an absent face
like the astronaut that has lost its way
time disappears when you look inside
and initiate the resurrection of the dead final
only your heart will assist the final judgement.

“The impossible can happen”
Rolando Toro Araneda

Personally, I feel even more compelled and committed to continue his great work. He is in our hearts forever and will be with us each and every time we will dance…

Have a good journey to the stars and dance in Peace, Love and Power.

Today I received my new flyer to continue to spread the news around and contaminate more and more people.

Thanks to you, Rolando.

Are you ready for this new adventure towards your true self ?

A question for you: Are you ready?
Ready to what? I can hear you saying. Ready to discover … If I could tell you what, it wouldn’t be a discovery any longer. And I don’t know as it is different for everyone and impossible to explain.
if you are not ready, it’s one more reason to embark [...]

Biodanza is not like anything. You need to trust me and just taste it.

December 6, 2009

I read regularly the blog of Seth Godin, he is a real inspiration for me, and his last post ( What’s it like? ) is talking exactly about one of the main problem I encounter when it comes to market something as new and impossible to explain as Biodanza is.
People ask me so often ‘what is [...]
