Biodanza Adventure for Children (ages 6-12)
Join Michelle and Jenni on a magical journey of discovery and adventure through movement, story and play. We bring you an experience of Biodanza tailored to children aged 6-12.
Originating in South America, Biodanza is now a global dance movement modality using expressive movement and beautiful music to cultivate connection, playful aliveness and joy. It is a unique form of conscious dance where human connection is foregrounded and skilfully facilitated by trained facilitators. Biodanza for Children is specially adapted to suit younger developmental needs and is practiced throughout the world with highly effective outcomes for children’s social and emotional learning.
This introductory Biodanza workshop will be 40 minutes long, suitable for boys and girls aged 6-12 and inclusive of all levels of movement experience and ability. Parents and their inner children are welcome to join in our playful adventure.
Together we will embark on a delightful journey through story and play, moving solo, in pairs and in groups, moving through cycles of activity and rest, allowing healthy nervous system regulation and renewal. We will have an opportunity to be grounded in our bodies, connected to our hearts, and to interact with each other in a safe, respectful and playful manner.
Biodanza invites us to tap into our innate creativity, build confidence in our self-expression, and help us feel connected with and accepted by others. Biodanza cultivates feelings of joy, playfulness, and open-heartedness.
