Biodanza<\/a> <\/strong>is a self-development system<\/strong> created by the Chilean anthropologist and psychologist Rolando Toro Araneda<\/strong>, in the 1960s. The name of this system joins two words: bio (from the Greek) meaning \u201clife\u201d and danza (from the Spanish) meaning \u201cdance\u201d. Biodanza<\/strong> means, therefore, \u201cthe dance of life<\/strong>\u201d, and it is a method that uses music<\/a> and movement to deepen self-consciousness under the belief that life itself is movement. Being a social activity<\/strong><\/a>, it aims the exploration of individual emotions integrated into a group, teaching<\/a> people to overcome social discomfort when expressing their feelings. Furthermore, Biodanza<\/strong> promotes integration and deepens relationships with other human beings and with nature<\/a> in general.<\/p>\n

In his book \u201cBiodanza<\/strong>\u201d (2008), Rolando Toro<\/strong> defines this dance as \u201ca system of human integration, organic renovation, affective re-education and relearning of life basic functions\u201d, promoting happiness, communication and human relationships. Although it might sound a little bit \u201cneo-hippie\u201d at first, this system can do wonders for individuals who seek self-expression<\/strong> but struggle with confidence or always feel a little awkward in social meetings.<\/p>\n
