“Freedom is not the absence of structure.
It is the absence of unnecessary limitation.”
Biodanza is not “free dance”. It has a clear methodology and theoretical model that participants to discover the freedom of being authentically themselves by encouraging movements that are not governed by habit or the need to perform. True freedom arises when our dances reach that place within the body where we release patterns of tension, inhibition and self-consciousness that quietly shape our lives.
The Free Body is not without structure or direction. Rather, it responds authentically to the present moment instead of being confined by habitual patterns and expectations. The Biodanza facilitator suggests, guides, and invites, not to dictate, but to encourage us to surrender into new experiences that become the path to expressing who we really are.
Our tendency to “doing what I want” is often driven by the Western ideal of individualism and the Ego. When we shift away from this paradigm we enter the vulnerability of not being in control. However as we explore new movements and experiences through dance, we find that the more we surrender and the less we hold on, the more we awaken something much deeper expressing an innate freedom that has always existing within us.
