Do you want to be happy and fulfill your potential?
Do you wish to experience pure joy, satisfaction and happiness?
Is your desire to connect more with yourself, with others and with your life as such?
If you still can not achieve to live the life in which you feel happy, joyful and fulfilled, you may think, plan, and do, but perceive and feel not enough. You will not achieve a beautiful life only with your mind.
Experience a real connection with yourself, with others, with your life, and your world will change.
Satisfaction is based on our connection. The first step is really to feel this connection. To perceive yourself and the life as it is. The second step is to do what you actually feel. In short, organize your life as you really want it.
Now you have an opportunity to really feel this connection!
Thanks to the Biodanza Festival you can also experience feelings of harmony, relaxation, love, joy, solidarity and satisfaction!
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!

Ruth Strupinski (Great Britain)
I have been teaching for over 40 years and Biodanza is my passion. I teach a weekly Biodanza class in Richmond, London, UK, which has been running successfully for over 20 years and is a deep source of pleasure for me.
Writing the class each week and choosing the music has given me an interest in musical semantics which is an integral part of every vivencia. When planning the music and the dances my aim is to create a coherent experience for both the individual participant and the group.
I am a co-director of the London School of Biodanza and am motivated to pass on my passion to our students. In October we are embarking on our 5th 3-year cycle.
I have facilitated vivencias in many places and countries, all around the UK, in Croatia, France, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain and The Netherlands.
My specialisations are:- Children’s Biodanza; The Minotaur Project; Biodanza Voice Music & Percussion; The Tree of Desires; Identity and The 4 Elements.
I spend time apart from Biodanza creating mosaics and semi-abstract paintings in oils.

Marie Němcová (concert on Friday evening)
Marie Němcová is a singer and songwriter whose music blends spiritual depth with elements of popular music — a style she playfully calls „bohopop.“
According to her listeners, her songs are like musical therapy, bringing peace, acceptance, joy, and pointing to the inner light that lives within each of us.
Concerts with her band are moving experiences where tears give way to smiles, and the audience leaves with a sense of calm, hope, and harmony.
🎶 Marie Němcová – vocals
🎸 Karel Bárta – guitar
🎻 Matěj Havlíček – bass
🥁 Jan Chalupa – drums
🎹 Tomáš Jochmann – piano
Tranzan (Concert on Saturday Evening)
The songs that flow through Tranzan are a pure celebration of being. Powerful, conscious messages, vocals shared with the audience, wild dance rhythms, and meditative stillness — these are the streams that merge into a single river of joy for life.
This is music that guides people to the very depths of their soul, and then beyond the edges of Earth’s atmosphere. Tranzan is like a shaman who travels between worlds through sound, weaving them into a harmonious whole.
His songs have become an integral part of therapies, ceremonies, and celebrations of all kinds. He has released three albums — the latest, titled Butterfly, is just now spreading its wings into the world.
Veronika Faltusová (Resounding on Thursday Evening)
Veronika is a special education teacher and music therapist. Since 1995, she has been working in the field of special education, focusing on the development and support of children with disabilities. Her work with individuals on the autism spectrum led her to study Holistic Music Therapy at Palacký University in Olomouc. Since 2007, she has been offering music therapy mainly within education and foster care systems. She also facilitates active music therapy workshops and sound baths for the public and regularly leads training sessions for professionals.
Resounding
From silence — where each of us can settle into the present moment, here and now — we will begin to listen. Gradually, the space will fill with singing and the natural tones of therapeutic musical instruments, gently inviting us into shared play and resonance. Tibetan bowls, percussion, drums, singing, dancing — or simply listening in mutual synergy.
Lenka Balanc – Morning Body Awakening
With over twenty years of experience, Lenka is a dancer and instructor of various movement forms for all ages. She focuses primarily on CONSCIOUS MOVEMENT, which aims to balance bodily imbalances. She emphasizes connecting the body with the mind, promoting a mindful approach to movement and self-care.
It is always possible to start living kindly towards your body, desires, wishes, needs, and feelings.
„I believe that everyone can exercise and dance; it’s just a matter of knowing how. The goal of my classes is not performance, but care. It’s that wonderful feeling of truly settling into yourself. I place great importance on respecting one’s own abilities and limits.“
Peter Končula – masseur
Peter has been working with the body for over 15 years.
His background includes a variety of massage techniques, which he draws from as needed. But the core of his approach lies in sensitivity, presence, and conscious touch — through these qualities, he listens deeply to what is most important in each moment. He adjusts the intensity and focus of the massage accordingly — whether it’s relieving muscle tension, supporting deeper relaxation, or simply calming the nervous system and restoring energy.
Peter’s style is both grounded and sensitive. He works with care, calm attention, and deep respect for the body and the boundaries of the person in front of him. For him, massage is not just physical care — it’s an invitation to pause and return attention to oneself.
In addition to massage, Peter is also dedicated to working with women through his long-term project The Path of the Queen, where he creates a nourishing space for women to rest, recharge, and reconnect with their bodies and inner wisdom.

This therapy is inspired by developmental kinesiology and aims to restore more favorable movement patterns from early childhood. 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. „
