Biodanza with Andrew - ‘Rhythm, Melody and Harmony’
Details
Rhythm is a natural expression of the organism and its most primitive function, as it presents hundreds of rhythms in perfect harmony: cardiac, respiratory, and peristaltic rhythms, among others. On the other hand, nature presents us with an infinity of rhythms: the rhythm of day and night, rhythm of the seasons of the year, and rhythm of the seas, among others. So, the universe of rhythm is a universe of a primordial nature, and activates our instinctive centre.
In Biodanza, the first state of corporal integration is sensory (auditory) – motor integration: motor adaptation to different types of rhythm. Successive states are melodic integration, expression of emotion and identification with the music (musical trance).
It is the melody that incorporates the affective, communicative, warm factor. In neurological terms, the passage from rhythm to melody is the passage from instinct to emotion. The vital force of the rhythm is modulated by the fluid sweetness of affectivity. The genitality of the rhythm is integrated to the affectivity of the melody. Later we will see that the third step of integration is musical harmony.
Harmony is grace in our body as it incorporates both rhythm and melody, and is of re-establishing biological order.
When we have grace within ourselves, we have love and a strong intuition. Caroline Myss (p17), 2007, explains the power that grace has in our lives when she says “grace illuminates your path by moving through intuition, influencing the choices that you make,” and “the energy of grace is a relentless internal voice that we can rarely misinterpret or silence. It is a power that works hand in hand with our intuition to guide our actions in the right direction – the direction that will do most good.”
Biodanza takes all of these various ideas and works with the aim of strengthening the identity as a unique expression of who you are as an individual.
No steps to learn, and freedom to just be yourself.
Biodanza is for single people, in a relationship and anything in between. Inclusivity is the ambition
Second Class FREE
To make Biodanza more accessible to more new people and to grow our ever expanding community in Warwickshire, and accepting it can take the body a while to integrate something new, I am offering to all new dancers, your second class FREE.
