OUR VISION OF THE FESTIVAL
What did the participants of the last year say about the festival?
Biodanza fills me with love and joy, connects me with amazing people and with myself. I love dancing and thanks to Biodanza, I’ve learned to enjoy everything that life brings to me.
Jitka
Biodanza helps me to connect with my inner self – it helps me to find and ruin the walls that I have built up in my whole life. Definitely try the festival and come. You’ll take away at least one inspirational experience, but I’m sure there will be more.
Jana
Biodanza represents for me the finest and most pleasant way to meet with the true myself, with its bright and unspoiled places and the real world of people around. It is a miracle how much intimacy and love is among people and how easily it can actually be shared.
Klára
Reach the opportunity to be yourself and to feel the sense of absolute freedom while living out wonderful days with equally tuned people.
Katarínka
It’s a unique experience! It is not possible to describe the uniqueness of Biodanza and its benefits for everyone separately. You just have to try it!

Marketa has been interested in learning and personal development for over 15 years. She has 8 years of experience with Biodanza. Since her first lesson, she knew that Biodanza was „the right direction“ on her way. She completed her three year training in Germany with facilitator from Argentina. Since 2014, she has been leading regular lessons in Prague where she lives. Besides Biodanza, she loves swimming. She says that Biodanza changed her life. She began to feel more, to perceive herself, her feelings and her body. The experience of Biodanza began to influence her „normal“ life, which gradually became richer and more beautiful. She began to experience the forgotten joy of life again. Biodanza has become an important part of her life, and passing it on brings Markéta a feeling of fulfillment. She keeps admiring how mystical is what is happening during the dance and how deep and healing experiences can be brought in by Biodanza. It is something that can not be described by words.

Marie Tilšarová is an inspirer, mindfulness guide, author of mindfulness motivation cards and above all an AUTHENTIC SONG WRITER. What lives sings, what sings lives.
aHer first album PUSH IT THROUGH THE WATER, released in May 2021, has a beautiful acclaim. The songs on it help listeners find peace and joy in life. Although the genre is between folk and pop, people call them therapeutic. The second album HOME, released in June 2022, boasts similar accolades.
Her songs draw you in because they are from life, touching on places and themes, that we all share… they’re very human, kind, wise. profound and sometimes quite funny…
It is accompanied by the band „A WHO ARE WE“ composed of Basa/DrumKit – Pavel Tilšar, Flutes/Saxophones – Martin Penič.
Together they form one (and often too much:-) living organism that will impress you the joy of being in the present moment.

Stanislava Ketmanová – masseuse
„I have been accompanying women and men with my touch to return to their inwardness, to their nature and spontaneity. During the massage, we dissolve all the tensions and let you blossom the seed of beauty and sensuality into the beautiful flower of bliss. It will be my honor for me to accompany you on your way ….. „
Miroslav Ketman – masseur
„I realize and perceive that there is so little touching and especially tender touching in our everyday life. And yet our bodies subconsciously crave for this. But because we can accept the touches only in a state of complete relaxation and surrender, my intention is to bring you into this state. And then it can energize you together, I can give you a feeling of surrender, a feeling of joy and love for yourself. And I’m absolutely happy to see you leaving my massages glowing and filled with exactly what you need or what you have not gotten before. I look forward to meeting with each of you, if not for a massage so at least in the amazing space of the festival.“

It focuses on conscious movement and activation of the body’s support system for proper alignment. It helps improve or alleviate various health issues such as flat feet, bunions, heel spurs, scoliosis, lordosis, kyphosis, back and joint pain, and more.

Can I apply to the festival even though I do not have experience with Biodanza?
We would recommend at least a minimal experience with Biodanza before you apply for the whole festival. The festival is a really intense experience and it is better to know at least a little bit what you are getting into. We then don’t have to explain the full basics at the festival and can go into more depth as a group. You can come for at least 2 weekly lessons or attend a 1 day seminar. You can find a list of options at www.biodanza.cz or www.biodanzapraha.cz
Do I need to know how to dance?
No! 😉
Biodanza is suitable for men and women of all ages. It is not necessary to know how to dance or be physically fit, we do not teach any steps or dance choreography. The philosophy of Biodanza is to bring more fun, pleasure, spontaneity, happiness and love into our lives. And we do this simply by moving – the body tells itself where and how intensely it wants to move.
What is Biodanza?
Biodanza is a holistic system of development. Its methodology is based on intense experiences of the presence that come through music, movement and group encounters. It originated in the 1960s in South America and spread throughout the world. It was founded by Professor Rolando Toro. In translation it means Dance of Life. Our human potential has 5 basic so-called development lines – vitality, creativity, sexuality, feeling and transcendence. At Biodanza lessons, we develop and stimulate these areas, leading to the overall flowering of our personality, the affectivity of fulfillment, satisfaction, joy and love.
Simply put – Biodanza is an adventure that draws you into the Life!
What do participants say on the Biodanza system?
„Biodanza brought me more love to myself and to others, and showed me the possibilities how to show love to myself and to others. I’ve had wonderful and intense moments with my partner.”
Hanka
„I feel a lot more perspective and depth. I can better stand up for myself, allow myself space and time when I need it, not to force myself into anything, and at the same time I allow myself more contact with people and better manage the contact. I allow myself to enjoy more pleasure and to feel my life with passion. „
Ivana
„BIODANZA has a power to wake up a very exhausted person, pouring the energy into his veins. I felt miserable, and was looking for a reboot. At Biodanza, I have found my strength again, I learned to feel myself. I’m so glad that I discovered Biodanza, it was a great experience for me! „
Tomáš
„Playfulness, joy, Biodanza helped me get out of my head and shake off my worries, I experienced the relaxation and closeness to people – I realized a lot about myself – my restraints, desires, my worries. „
