WHY PRACTICE BIODANZA®?

Human Intelligence
The neuro-sciences and developmental psychology have established without a doubt that human intelligence relies on a combination of various intelligences, which all require to be appropriately stimulated in order to bring about a harmonious and complete development of ourselves.
These include: Affective or emotional intelligence - our capacity for empathy and emotional awareness of ourselves and others Inter-personal intelligence - the ability to understand and interact effectively with others Intra-personal intelligence - self-awareness of our beliefs, emotions, motivations, goals Proprioceptive intelligence - awareness of the position and movement of our body Musical intelligence - the capacity to discern pitch, rhythm, timbre, and tone Ecological intelligence - the ability to adapt to our eco-system Existential intelligence - our capacity to see the big picture, to engage with collective values and intuition to understand others and the world around us. All exercises in Biodanza® were created to progressively stimulate this entire mix of human intelligences, thereby contributing to our integrated and healthy development. |
Affective Intelligence According to Rolando Toro, the creator of Biodanza®, the human species undertook a developmental leap thanks to the extraordinary development of our affective capacities, introducing the feelings of love, friendship, altruism, solidarity and cooperation into the evolutionary process of humanity.
For this reason in Biodanza®, affective intelligence is regarded as the founding nucleus of human identity, from the basis of which all other potentials and forms of intelligence can be developed in the healthiest way. |
