Open new doors for yourself at the Biodanza School
The Southern Cross Biodanza School in Australia is in motion and flourishing.
If you have Biodanza experience and want to explore more - you're welcome!
You might have felt the gift and power of Biodanza in weekly classes and workshops.
Now imagine this as a precious and life-enhancing journey of experiences and adventures.
Biodanza is a system of human development that invites our innate potentials for vitality, pleasure, creativity, heart and transcendence to be explored and expressed.
One dance can clear our eyes and re-organise our perception.
One music can open our heart. This is what we discover with Biodanza.
One moment, one vivencia, can change our life.
If part or all of the Biodanza school journey calls to you, we invite you to read on to see where this impetus can take you!

Let the dances, your impetus and vivencias guide you . .
Biodanza experience
If you have Biodanza experience and are open to a process of growth and development through Biodanza, you’re welcome to join us for some weekends.
To enrol in the school and training the usual requirement is to have 50+ hours of experience in Biodanza sessions. In Australia we recognise this might be challenging because there are not many regular groups.
If this is an issue because of where you live, please get in touch and we can talk about your options.

Readiness for methodology
Before undertaking methodology participants meet with the school director to co-assess your readiness.
Course structure
The total program is made up of 28 modules done in person. You need to complete most of Part 1 and course work before applying to start methodology.
Kate is the Director of the School. She has co-directed 2 cycles of a Biodanza school, been an active Biodanza facilitator since 2002, a corporate facilitator for over 20 years and an executive and team coach for 8 years.
She has worked with Biodanza with children, social action and in organisations.
The teaching team will include Kate and experienced and talented didactic teachers from around the world.
What happens on a weekend?
This is not school as you might know it where you sit down and read, this is alive and enlivening learning and experiencing. And there’s lots of dancing.
Each weekend module is composed of 4-5 sessions of Biodanza and 2-3 sessions of theory.
The theory sessions is designed to be stimulating and engaging with plenty of interaction and exploring.
There is also time to rest, integrate and relax and socialise on the weekends. The Barracks is a self-contained venue that holds us in a warm and comfortable way throughout the seasons. There are indoor and outdoor areas for enjoying downtime.
Most weekends run from Friday – Sunday
Fri 5pm – Check-in opens

What previous participants say about the Biodanza School
‘Taking part in the Biodanza facilitator training gave me far more than I ever imagined. Not just the teaching but the connections, support and heart warming relationship with each other as we learned and danced together’ Alan, mindfulness teacher and Biodanza facilitator
‘I had done weekly classes for a couple of years with Kate and Claudio and had really loved and needed that experience in my life. And at the same time, I also knew that becoming a Biodanza facilitator was not for me. But doing approximately the first two thirds of the Biodanza school (up until the beginning of the methodology section) for my own personal development was a great, challenging, and life changing experience for me. It really helped me open up more to life.’ Patrick, Biodanza participant
‘Biodanza goes beyond being a “therapy” because it proposes a complete program for living. My personal experience of Biodanza’s power to “bring it all together” was that it spoke to me equally as a researcher and a dancer of life – and provided opportunities to actually live the connections between them.’ Rebecca – dance therapist
‘Doing the Biodanza School has been a life-changing experience for me. When I started, I was an extremely logical, rational, thought-based person, disengaged from my body and my emotions due to my upbringing and life circumstances.
Throughout the school, I kept gradually discovering my body and the walls I had around my heart that prevented me from feeling life fully, melted away. None of this was forced or intentional. It all happened naturally, month after month, as I trusted the process, the didacts, the school director, and the group more and more, and as I allowed the dance and the music to shape me into a more complete version of myself.
I will be forever grateful for my decision to do the Biodanza school.’ Gabriela Borgognone , Biodanza facilitator and scientist
