We Dance Barefoot

Boundaries & Consent

Self-Regulation

Stay Hydrated

We prefer to dance barefoot, as this gives us the best possible grounding -whether on carpet, a wooden floor, a field or a beach. We offer Rawganic wipes for hands and feet. Please bring your favourite brand if you prefer.

During sessions when necessary, we recommend you sip water as often as you need. Always bring your own bottle or flask. Tap water will always be available.

At any time, whenever you may feel ’out of sync’ (feeling tired, or challenged by a particular invitation), it is perfectly acceptable to  quietly move away and sit quietly before you feel like rejoining the group.

Your choices in Biodanza classes, as in life, remain sovereign. You may dislike some invitations because for any reason you do not feel ready. Your choice is then to either let your partner know* - if working in pairs - or quietly remove yourself from a more groupal activity until you feel you can rejoin. It may be useful later - after class -  to verbalise later on how you felt your boundaries challenged. Experiential work with boundary awareness is part and parcel of Biodanza.

*Visually signalling to any potential partner that you are not comfortable is a skill you will acquire. Partners need to be ready to read such responses and seek consent to continue in a non-verbal way, and provide an acceptable level of touch or contact.

 Biodanza provides a space in which such responses and reactions can be handled in a way which encourages self-discovery and growth, at a pace which participants find comfortable.

You can find more information on these points in this downloadable information sheet.
