Welcome
Welcome to
BIODANZAsrt
School
Brighton
Brighton has everything you can want, culture, the
sea, countryside, parks, shops, excellent
restaurants and a colourful history. All these
different elements make Brighton a stimulating
place to visit. It is more than London-by-the-sea
it is Brighton.
I am proud to be the director of the first school
of The BIODANZAsrt
System School - Brighton. I have been
teaching BIODANZAsrt
in Brighton since 1996 and have seen this exciting
city grow. Brighton today has managed to diversify
in the attractions it has to offer to such an
extent that it is now an important cultural centre,
yearly hosting one of the largest arts festival in
Europe second only to Edinburgh. A yearly film
festival also taps into its long associations as a
leading centre of the emerging British film
industry.
What leads me to open our school here is the
growing interest in Dance as an artistic expression
for all. BIODANZAsrt
is internationally renowned and our dynamic and
innovative training course draws students and
teachers from throughout the UK and worldwide to
experience this beautiful part of the world. I
welcome all prospective student teachers from
around the world and in particular I encourage
students native to this area to train as future
teachers so as to make BIODANZAsrt
widely available and part of our culture here in
the South of England.
I am delighted that you are considering joining us
for your studies and hope I may welcome you to
The BIODANZAsrt
School - Brighton UK
Marita
Sanguinetti - director.
The
BIODANZAsrt
School – Brighton welcomes students from al
backgrounds therefore certain applicants interested
in becoming BIODANZAsrt
teachers may have had little if any dance
education. For this reason all students will have
the opportunity to attend complementary dance
classes to further their skills and achieve a wider
vocabulary of movement.
“An accomplished BIODANZAsrt
teacher knows how to articulate fluently in dance,
just as a teacher of English is required to have a
wide vocabulary and a good understanding of the
written word. The ability to see that
teaching BIODANZAsrt
with such fluency and that accurate, clear
articulation, will significantly aid the teacher to
edify from an authentic unique expression of who
they are and will enable them to create classes in
their own unique manner. Our teaching staff
supports the student teachers to achieve their own
style, we believe that when teachers make their
classes truly their own they will have success in
filling their future classes attracting exactly the
people they want to work with.”

O’Connor, Didactic Teacher of BIODANZAsrt.
Introduction
Introduction
to BIODANZAsrt
Rolando Toro first created The BIODANZAsrt when he was working as a young doctor in Chile. In the years that followed he drew upon his years of study in science, anthropology and the arts to develop BIODANZAsrt beautiful dances and exercises. Today Professor Toro has returned to his beloved Chile and still teaches classes and training courses all over the world.
The main objectives of the BIODANZAsrt system are to increase the general state of mental and physical health and to gain awareness of our movement as we dance. Biodanza is a dance form that takes its gestures and expressions from everyday movements and makes them conscious. This practice results in improving our choices as to how to live each moment of our every day life in healthy, mindful and expressive ways.
BIODANZAsrt combines dance, music and community building into a dance form that enables each student to work towards his or her full potential as a healthy individual. It teaches us what it means to put creativity into all parts of our life. Most importantly we participate in an in-depthstudy of the body and its movement and, making our experience conscious through this observation, we become aware of how we can reach higher levels of integration, firstly within ourselves and then with the world... a meditation in dance.
“BIODANZAsrt creates a space in which something unthought-of, unimagined and full of wonder can take visible form as this is a way of knowledge that can bring us to the very centre of creativity, to that full involvement in the movement without calculation or reserve, which means health and freedom. It provides us with an opportunity to come and dance the story that expresses our unique selves and our life and in doing so get closer to knowing what it is we need to create for ourselves to live our lives with more intensity, health and joy. Personally I have found BIODANZAsrt an inspiration that has enabled me to take part in my life more fully instead of just being a spectator of it and I have seen in my students a keenness to commit to do the challenging work necessary for them to succeed in reaching their full potential”.

Aims, Philosophy and Plan of Study
The The BIODANZAsrt – Brighton aims to introduce The BIODANZAsrt to the South of England by training the first teachers in and around Brighton to a world class standard and therefore qualifying them to teach not only in the South of England but all over the UK and worldwide.
Our teaching staff aim to create a dynamic learning environment where student teachers can study and combine the theory, method and standards of the The BIODANZAsrt. In this setting the student can use the time in the class to its most effective as in addition to the course syllabus, they are taught and encouraged to cultivate a The BIODANZAsrt practice as a regular discipline. This will enhance not only their teacher training study but their commitment to this self-discipline also establishes an opening in their daily lives in which they can become aware of what is healthy and meaningful for them as prospective teachers. From these objectives the ways to creating healthy and successful future The BIODANZAsrt groups and classes are revealed to them.
It is my belief that if The BIODANZAsrt were taught to every child in every school from nursery school to University and if, from then on, everyone was encouraged to make dance a part of their lives along side their physical, mental and creative expressive needs, each person would have the opportunity to reach their full potential in life. It is The The BIODANZAsrt School of Brighton’s aim to make this form of education reality and make dance accessible and vital to everyone. For dance to be considered a crucial and healthy part of everyday life we must firstly, as individuals, experience it as vitalising. To dance is to experience the grace of giving life’s expression artistic form. Only when dance is experienced, valued and accepted as an everyday vital necessity for health and well being can we as individuals and communities experience it’s nourishing vitality. The history of dance reaches back to primitive man the ancient Athenians, medieval times, the Renaissance and on to the present day. The evolution of dance runs parallel to and is reflected in the awakening and development of these proceeding ages bringing us to the present day where we can study and follow these parallels and expand insight into our own development, survival and health. It would be of great benefit for us all to know our history with such relevance to our health and growth.
To study the body and its movement is the first step towards this wisdom. Every movement and gesture we make is dance. It is to reach for our furthest dreams. Our body houses our dreams and receives our experiences. It is the body that moves and makes music and emotion visible, dance. All art forms are mediums with which we can unite, express, record and communicate our experiences. Movement is the physical starting point of expression and the art, which expresses emotional values, is dance. So to dance one must study and explore and know movement. Art in all its forms follows and is especially adapted to this ideal of education for it is only in art that all the aspects of man’s complex nature is united and expressed.
Before all else it is our aim as the first The BIODANZAsrt in Brighton to create teachers that are useful, healthy examples to their future students. This we do by modelling to them the benefits of knowing our own bodies, the depth of our resources, our dance/ourselves and how to make the relationship we have with the world conscious.”
The course aims to stimulate reflective practice, research and analysis and to engage in dialogue with a cross section of professional The BIODANZAsrt teachers and lecturers. The theory of The BIODANZAsrt, its fundamentals and practice are studied in depth and there are many opportunities to follow specific interest. The course’s twenty-seven subjects will be given in the order outlined in this prospectus.

Practical Study
Practical
Studies
All The BIODANZAsrt student teachers will be expected to be practicing The BIODANZAsrt for their own development and therefore they will be required to attend a weekly The BIODANZAsrt class throughout their Teacher Training. During the two and a half hour class the student concentrates on the highest reality, which is the present moment (called Vivensia) and their body expresses what the moment reveals to them in visible form.
Throughout the teacher training course a great emphasis is placed on the importance of deepening the practice of being mindful of the present moment and of how to develop conscious thoughts, emotions and actions. Furthering Vivensial skills by attending a regular class is a requirement towards achieving the The BIODANZAsrt teaching qualification.

Prior to interview all applicants will be expected to have no less than 50 hours experience of The BIODANZAsrt and will be required to apply to their regular The BIODANZAsrt Teacher for a written assessment of their work. Finally the student is required to write a letter supporting their application.
The course is also appropriate for any one who wishes to further their knowledge of the The BIODANZAsrt system for personal development. As all the above admission requirements are relevant to all applicants, it is necessary for these students to enrol as listeners and comply with the same commitment to learning as the Student Teachers.

Teaching Matters-Post Graduate Course
The BIODANZAsrt Teaching Matters is a project for the education and support of The BIODANZAsrt Teachers in their relationships with their students and communities. Teaching Matters aims to improve communications between teachers, their students and their community members. The main focus is on becoming more aware of emotions underlying behaviour, learning skilful ways of listening to and communicating with each other and creating cooperative ways of working together. When this is improved, the effects on the atmosphere in class and in our communities are immediate and dramatic. When every aspect of community building is addressed and cared for every one benefits.
The Teaching Matters material is presented as a 36-hour course, consisting of 12 x 3 hourly sessions.
This course would be very useful to all Postgraduates as:
*It specifically addresses the issues of coping effectively with the challenges that arise
when building a The BIODANZAsrt group.
*The course brings new and experienced teachers together in a supportive environment in which ideas can be shared on how to overcome the obstacles that block the way to creating healthy, growing and thriving groups and how we can therefore learn together to succeed in building community. Sharing resources and ideas vitalizes the dynamics of these sessions and therefore models directly what a The BIODANZAsrt class full of vitality and resourcefulness is like.
Aims of course:
To give The BIODANZAsrt Postgraduate teachers an opportunity to:
• Explore where and how communication skills fit within The BIODANZAsrt attitudes and skills - Vivensia.
• Explore their own feelings regarding groups and community building and what might get in the way of achieving the type of group they wish for.
• Explore effective ways of finding their own style and communicating this in dynamic and unique ways- including advertising styles, etc.
• Gain awareness of ways they can encourage their own group members /students under their care to express their feelings usefully concerning what they wish their group to be for them and therefore help them to be more confident, independent, healthy and happy.
Outline of The BIODANZAsrt Teaching Matters:
(12 weeks course three hours per session)
The following areas are covered:
• Our roles as teachers and carers - doing our best for our students-
• Our needs as individuals - doing the best for ourselves - expressing our unique selves - style and advertising.
• Exploring feelings- denying feelings- expressing feelings and what we need-accepting feelings
• The risk of using labels
• Problem ownership- who’s problem is it when I am not getting what I need?
• Developing helping skills- positive self feedback
• Open and closed questions- peer feedback
• Emotional flooding- reflective listening
• Reflective listening
• Needs versus wants
• Feelings- knowing where they come from- reflective listening to
Ourselves- challenging unwanted behaviour safely
• Saying yes- saying no softly and firmly.
• Explore where and how communication skills fit within the contents of The BIODANZAsrt's
attitudes and skills.
