What we’re about
We are a community of conscious dance lovers from all walks of life in Cape Town. What we have in common is our love of music, our passion for dance and a reverence for the healing power of movement and the deep connections that can be achieved through non-verbal communication and being fully immersed in the moment.
Conscious dance is usually guided by a facilitator who sets an intention for the movement. Conscious dance is also known as "intentional dance". This is because the dancers enter the dance floor with a sense of intention. Their specific intentions may include processing personal issues, entering a state of meditation or regression, or expressing themselves authentically and creatively. Regardless of the terms used, a conscious dancer is frequently in pursuit of a deeper awareness of one's self, and others on the dance floor.
We have several regular events in the form of Biodanza classes. Biodanza is a form of conscious dance and a very powerful tool for personal transformation, helping you reach your full potential. It's also a lot of fun and a way of rediscovering the joy of living. No specific dance skills or experience is required and there are no steps to learn. It's a great way to meet and interact with others interested in real connection and personal development. It's also a lovely way to spend quality time or celebrate with friends. All adults welcome!
This is a safe space in which is suitable for anyone who loves to move and express themselves freely. It's intended to be a regular practice - preferably attended weekly over a period of years, progressing according to individual experience and capability. There are different levels of classes, namely:
- Beginners (open to all adults)
- Intermediate (for more experienced dancers only - deepening your practice and learning more challenging exercises)
- Advanced (for seasoned Biodanceros / similar only - who are comfortable with deep journeys and know most of the dances / exercises)
Please note, the deeper classes - Intermediate and Advanced - are closed to newcomers.
Other ad-hoc / regular events will be created as the need arises. We also offer various workshops or dance-centred retreats during the year.
N.B. although this is a fun way to meet others, this is not a singles club.
You are invited to a special year-end celebration and a great way to meet our dancing community! Newcomers to Biodanza dance for free! Something for all dancers of life.

See all- Dance for Joy by Move It! The best way to start your week!Erin Hall, Cape Town€9.00
Every Monday night in the beautiful, leafy suburb of Rondebosch, we leave the day behind and just move! Come get together with other like-minded people, have fun, de-stress, get inspired, energised and much more – simply the best way to start the week!
Translated, Biodanza means "The Dance of Life". It’s a very powerful form of conscious dance which helps us to experience the joy of living through music and movement. The class follows a tried and trusted formula which is firmly rooted in science and a truly memorable and moving experience! Each class is carefully designed according to a specific theme or intention, selecting the most exquisite and appropriate music. The space is held by a highly qualified and experienced facilitator and didactic teacher, enabling you to let go and dance with whatever arises for you in that moment.
Soon this becomes a safe space for your weekly practice, where you can relax and feel free to be your authentic self and bring your own, unique self-expression. A place where you are invited to be mindful and connect with yourself in the here-and-now on ever-deepening levels. Attending a regular class helps you transform yourself and your life. All that is required of you is to show up, be real and participate as fully as you are able to while still practising self-care. Over time most dancers are motivated to live more intentionally and consciously and actively start creating their own lives. They begin to live and even thrive... instead of merely existing.
EVERYONE over 18 welcome - singles or couples, no previous dance experience or partner required, no right or wrong way and no steps to learn. We have a beautiful venue with a sprung wooden floor that's kind to your body and plenty of safe parking. Come join us! You are guaranteed to feel better afterwards!
