Rolando Toro
first created The Biodanza System when he was working as a young
doctor in Chile in the 1960's. In the years that followed he drew
upon his years of study in science, anthropology and the arts to
develop Biodanza's 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 BiodanzaSistemaRolandoToro are to increase the general state of mental and physical health by gaining awareness of our movement and how we relate to our lives, each other and our environment. BiodanzaSistemaRolandoToro is a dance form that takes its gestures and expressions from the natural surroundings and our everyday movements and makes them conscious. This practice results in improving our choices as to how to live each moment of our everyday life in healthy, mindful and expressive ways.
BiodanzaSistemaRolandoToro teaches us what it means to put creativity into all parts of our life. Most importantly we participate in an in-depth study of the body and its movement and through this observation, by making our experience conscious, we become aware of how we can reach higher levels of integration, firstly within ourselves and then with the world.

Within this
system we work with specific exercises and dances that serve to
tune our whole body and organism as one might tune a musical
instrument, and in doing so we invoke a balance of elements that
are quintessential to our artistic expression and therefore to our
health and wellbeing.
BiodanzaSistemaRolandoToro creates a space in which something unthought-of, unimagined and full of wonder can take visible form. 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 so doing get closer to knowing what it is we need to create to live our lives with more intensity, health and joy. Personally I have found BiodanzaSistemaRolandoToro an inspiration that has enabled me to take part in my life more fully, instead of just being a spectator of it. 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 and find their place in the world.

During the two
and a half hour class the dancer concentrates on the highest
reality, which is the present moment, and their body expresses what
the moment reveals to them in visible form. Throughout the class we
work towards the integration of our body, its movement and our
emotions with our perception, our intellectual refined thinking,
our imagination, and discernment.
