Biodanza with Babsi

BIODANZA WITH BABSI IS MOVING TO MONDAY NIGHTS, at 7 p.m.!BIODANZA WITH BABSI Barbara Widhalm, PhD $25/class; $80/monthly pass ------- Biodanza, which means "dance of life," is a healing and deeply restorative personal growth practice. It is relaxing for our nervous system, helps loosen and free our bodies, opens our hearts, and deepens our connection with ourselves, each other, community, and all of life. Biodanza has been truly life-changing for me and continues to be a wellspring of joy, healing, and community in my life. After nearly 18 years of practicing Biodanza and writing about the ecological wisdom of Biodanza in my dissertation, I am delighted to finally open a weekly group to share this amazing practice with you! Weekly classes integrate carefully selected, inspiring music from around the world with invigorating and gentle movement exercises. No prior dance or movement experience necessary! Biodanza doesn’t require specific steps, and there is no right or wrong. Come as you are! Grounded in ecological principles and the wisdom of nature, anthropology, psychology, and human biology, Biodanza was originally created in Latin America 50 years ago and has quickly spread around the world. It is now practiced on five continents by hundreds of thousands of participants each week.
