Strengthening the child's identity is the starting point.
 
We take into consideration each child in their current capacities and their level of maturity and allow for the spontaneous expression of their creativity and affectivity in each class. Dances and games in Biodanza exert a restorative effect and can strengthen the identity of children (self-esteem) and encourage their enjoyment of life.  We structure the classes by age groups to maximize this potential. 
 



Objectives of Biodanza for girls and boys :

• Strengthen self-esteem of the girl or boy
• Provide tools for self-control and tolerance
• Show experience via new forms of communication
• Facilitate the expression of emotions
• Learning to express yourself and to listen to others
• Self-examination of potential for joy , tenderness and creativity
• Developing skills for life
 
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES BIODANZA for GIRLS & BOYS

Raising the level of health and creativity
Biodanza exercises are structured in relation to its integrating effect - enhancement of organic unity and homeostasis of the body. In particular, Biodanza enhances motricity conditions (elasticity, elongation, agility, rhythm, flow, harmony, etc. ), sensitivity and the act of being bold that brings to fruition creative acts in the human being .
 
Connecting Action and Emotion
Bidoanza enables the child's perception of his emotions which, indeed, can be expressed through movement, preventing psychosomatic symptoms and encouraging inner creativity .
 
Creative Expression
Our ultimate goal is the expression of emotion, often so intimate a feeling that is not often possible to show within the family itself.
 
Group integration
 The feeling of belonging to a group is a vital engine for the child.  Isolation breeds discontent.  In Biodanza, we welcome the child into the fold weekly and create a safe and contained space.  Biodanza seeks to promote the harmonious integration of the group itself and each child within this context.
 
Self-Discipline and Concentration
We consider it essential that the child discovers that he can concentrate and we develop this capability for concentration with the proposition of dances/exercised that demand focus.  Biodanza exercises with children are geared towards helping kids develop self-discipline and concentration.


All of the above is hidden under a REALLY fun class that takes your child on a journey for one hour.  They will laugh, play, socialize, learn to be quiet and harmonious with self and with others.  I've never taught a Biodanza class for kids that the child didn't not love.  Come give it a try!
