Biodanza Vital Development (BVD), is to dance with life.
SERVICES
It’s a system of human development and awareness now in the UK for 17 years and pioneered and founded by Patricia Martello. Biodanza uses the experience of positive emotions, music, movement, expression and the awakening of an archaic sense of community to open up and awaken a profound and enjoyable connection with our unique human potentials. It does this through creating with specific dances and exercises, unique intense experiences of aliveness known as vivencias.
So how can BVD help you?
If you are living in stress, worries, anxiety or frustration, or maybe depression, anger, anxiety or fear: are you capable of making good every day decisions or responding appropriately to other people in your life? By returning to a state of holistic well being and profound enjoyment through BVD classes, people make meaningful decisions in their pathways of life and respond more appropriately to the daily stresses that a normal life presents to us.
After taking a few months of regular classes, people really do improve their well being and the quality of their style of life.
And they start this by taking their lives in their own hands. People start to understand at existential level that life can be lived in a more profound and positive way and they start to do so.
The Vivential system of Life awareness:
The human potential of the participant is awakened in a group process by living in the here and now with intensity and enjoyment. This moment of full awareness and aliveness, the vivencia of BVD, may be felt physically, psychologically, emotionally, in the joy of movement and the sense of a free body, in connection and communion with yourself and with others in the group or, sometimes, in contact with Nature.
BVD is not for survivors, but for ALIVErs!

The paradise on earth, here and now,
Now or Never…!
Molyvos (or Mythimna) is an enchanting small village on the north side of the island. It’s rooted in the rock which is dominated by the medieval castle (kastro) and spreads down to the sea.
The venue of the workshop is the DELFINIA Hotel, situated ¾ of a mile from Molyvos, facing the Aegean Sea. The Delfinia features a swimming pool by the sea, a ‘taverna’, where you can have delicious greek dishes and snacks, rooms and bungalows with sea views, and the typical Greek warm hospitality.
In between Vivencias we will have free afternoons to rest, or enjoy the swimming pool or perhaps make a short trip to other beaches and sites: Thermi (thermal waters), Petra, Skala Sikaminia, Anaxos, the local harbour, the market, etc

BWA Training Programmes
The School of Life
The First School of Biodanza in the United Kingdom was opened in 1993 by Patricia Martello and is based in London.
The development, aims and successes of this School are outstanding in the map of Biodanza worldwide.
This has meant a growth and spread of the Biodanza System through many Schools all over the world,
raising the standards of the Training Course to the highest levels of understanding and practice of the Biodanza System.
The first School of Biodanza in the United Kingdom (based in London), aims at training Biodanza Teachers.
A new profession which developes and establishes a different pedagogy in the art of affective communication and of the profound joy of living in harmony with the Universe.
The School’s unique Programme involves a rigorous training in the “Vivencia” (living experience) and a theoretical training about the effects of the Biodanza exercises on health and life style.
The cycle of training includes weekend courses, seminars, apprenticeships under supervision and the writing of a monograph.
The Director of the School is Patricia Martello and the Coordinator is Marcelo Di Matteo. The Sub-Coordinator Tutor is David Brown.
The School of Biodanza in the UK is member of the I.C.M. (The Institute for Complementary Medicine), and the BWA (Biodanza World Association).
Under the energetic and creative power of its Director, Patricia Martello, the School has re-created itself many times in each new cycle of the training program.
Different projects, new challenges and the incorporation of the latest developments of the Biodanza System have always been within the aims of this School of Life.
Patricia understands the School of Biodanza as an open and “alive” organism.
An example of the open participation y sense
of togetherness is the introduction of the Tutor Training Course for new Teachers and Students under supervision, within the worldwide program of “ongoing training” proposed by Rolando during the 2002 Biodanza Conference in Austria.
Another aspect of solidarity between the School and the Biodanza Teachers is the shared aims and objectives with the Association of Biodanza Teachers (ABTUK) according to the Biocentric Principle.
The introduction of Biodanza within the network of Colleges of Adult Education is the result of the serious commitment of the School to open new work places within the Communities all
over the UK.
The support for the local Didactic Biodanza Teachers to open new Schools of Biodanza where previously non existed before, has put the dream of spreading the Biodanza System worldwide into practice.
The creation of the Mandala Project is the possibility of opening spaces of solidarity, togetherness and love in action and introducing new people to Biodanza at the same time.
This School of Biodanza in London has provided a unique dimension in the development and spread of the Biodanza System in a caring framework, as never before in Biodanza
