Discover Biodanza - The Dance of Life

Join Us for Biodanza in Southampton!  I’ve been hosting Biodanza in Southampton for nearly 3 years!  

This June, I’m thrilled to extend a special invitation to Outdoor Lads members to join one of my regular sessions in Bitterne. 

Over the past 15 years, I have personally experienced a wonderful array of benefits through this beautiful practice. It would be a joy to welcome ODL members into our inclusive group, which embraces all genders and sexualities, with regular participants from Hampshire and frequently visitors from far and wide. Together, we can create heart-warming experiences and nurture new connections within our community.

If you can’t make it on 6th June, don’t worry! Feel free to reach out to me about other upcoming dates to explore the magic of Biodanza. I look forward to dancing with you!

During Biodanza sessions we bring our awareness back to our body, which helps us to discover and experiment with new forms of movement expression in fun ways, and open us to giving and receiving consensual touch, which can create a strong sense of comfort and affirmation for each other. 

In Biodanza there are no set dance steps to learn - we are not seeking to perform, the key is to connect with rhythm and our creative expression.

Biodanza is open to all experience levels - from those who could be curious to try Biodanza to those who are on a deep development journey through the practice. Biodanza is full of choice and invitations, which means that it can be adapted for people from all ages, backgrounds, fitness levels.

Biodanza FOR GAY, BISEXUAL and TRANS MEN

Biodanza can be particularly beneficial for men for several reasons:

Emotional Expression - it encourages emotional openness, helping men to connect with their feelings and express them within a safe space.

Stress Relief - Biodanza features movements and music that can reduce stress and promote relazation, fostering our overall well-being.

Improved social connection - Biodanza promotes bonding and community, it's a non-verbal practice, where everybody's individuality is recognised and celebrated. This can help to circumvent typical barriers that may be otherwise present in our everyday social environments.

Enhanced Body awareness  - Biodanza fosters deeper connection with one's own body, this can improve our body image and self-esteem.

Creativity and playfulness - Biodana encourages creativity and spontaneity, to help explore and experiment with our playful side.

Supportive Environment - The inclusive and supportive nature of Biodanza can allow that men feel safe whilst exploring and understanding our vulnerabilities.
