IX. Biodanza Festival 2026

1. 7. - 5. 7. 2026, Centrum Kubasův Mlýn

Czech Republic

Have a look what could the festival bring to you.

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

Biodanza festival is an opportunity to re-connect with ourselves, each other and Life as such.

From this space of true solidarity and connection on all three levels we will be nourished, inspired and energized for our personal journey.

Biodanza festival is a space where we can freely be ourselves and dance the unique dance of our live.

It is a a place of little and bigger miracles happening inside and outside. There are possibilities opening up for new perception of ourselves, our relationships, our life. 

Biodanza festival is a place, where we can meet old and new friends.

We can dance, have fun, live out our beauty, rest and enjoy life. We can simply and truly be together

Biodanza festival is a space for inspiration. It positively influences and heals our beautiful czech land.

Biodanza festival connects, harmonizes and brings more understanding, love and joy to our day-to-day reality.

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!

Miranda 30

Miranda van Keulen, Netherlands

I discovered Biodanza in Amsterdam in 2000 and fell in love with it from the very first dance. The magic of the dances, the poetic words, the intensity of contact with other dancers—I had never experienced anything like it before, not in any other dance class. I began my studies in Biodanza, joined the organizational team, and since 2010, I have been the co-director of the Biodanza School in Amsterdam. Since 2004, I have been teaching twice-weekly classes, and I love guiding groups on their journey—through music, dance, connection with others, and my own words. Let’s travel together! This summer in the Czech Republic. I look forward to meeting you on the dance floor.

What will the participation at the Biodanza festival give you?

You will feel livelier and more sincere, you will experience feelings of love and happiness thanks to the development of your human potential. In your life you will begin to implement changes that will reflect your experiences.

Joy

You will have more energy, joy and taste for life. You will learn how to relax.

Love

You feel so fresh, relaxed and full of Life. This is another world. Now everything is so beautiful, you feel euphoria, nothing is a problem.

So many wonderful people around you. You never knew you could ever feel so connected and in connection. 

You know that you belong to this human group. You have close friends. You are well in your body and in your soul.

You are pleased that you allowed yourself to be more sincere, be yourself. 

You are beginning to live the life you really want. You now feel sure in  what you really want and what you need to change and do differently.

Marie Tilšarová & Kdo Jsme My

(concert on Saturday evening) 

Maria Tilšarová is a Czech singer and songwriter whose music blends folk, chanson, and world music with deep emotionality and authentic expression. Her songs are personal, alive, and full of humanity — speaking of relationships, the courage to be oneself, joy, and vulnerability.

On stage, she performs with her band and brings concerts that are not only a musical experience, but also a powerful encounter with an atmosphere of closeness and sharing. Her voice is both gentle and urgent, creating a space in which the audience can naturally relax and let themselves be carried by the music.

At the Biodanza Festival, she brings a concert full of live energy, emotion, and songs that invite you to listen, feel, and dance.

OMNION – (concert on Friday evening)

Musical Alchemy and Trance Rhythms

Tomáš Reindl (Omnion) is a unique multi-instrumentalist and composer who masterfully bridges the gap between ancient traditions and modern soundscapes. Using live-looping (real-time layering of sound), he crafts mesmerizing musical landscapes right before your eyes, drawing you in with depth and rhythmic energy.

In his performance, you will hear rare instruments such as the tabla, kaval, didgeridoo, and sitar, enriched by captivating overtone singing and organic electronic beats. Omnion’s music is more than just a concert; it is an invitation to dive deep within and dance without restraint. It is a heartbeat that grounds us while opening a space for the pure joy of the present moment.

B.I.Z.O.N.I.: Impro Comedy Show – Thursday evening

Crazy Improvisers Desperately Determined Not to Stop Improvising

We’ve been on stage for over 15 years, and we believe that when people laugh together, they lose their shyness. And when they create, they stop being afraid.

We’re not a troupe. We’re friends who step onto the stage every evening not knowing what will happen next — and that’s exactly what we love about it.

Improvisation has taught us to listen more deeply, to be here and now, and not to be afraid of what lies beneath the surface. That’s what we want to keep sharing.

With you.

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. However, it is also suitable for experienced yogis who seek effortless asanas or those looking for pain-free movement or compensation for unilateral activities. Practicing this therapy leads to overall improvement in the body’s mobility, joy in movement, and a transformation of one’s life perspective 🙂

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. „

Petra
