This study examined the implementation of a biodanza program in a kindergarten for five-year-olds. The purpose of the project was to understand the contribution of biodanza to social-emotional learning (SEL) of kindergarten children. The exposure of children to biodanza made it possible to stimulate a social-emotional aspects of children’s development: to promote closeness and a sense of belonging to a group, and to encourage children to open up, express themselves, and show initiative. This was a qualitative case study carried out in 2017-2019 in Israel. The findings of this study suggest that the introduction of biodanza into kindergarten encouraged coping closeness, emotional and social expression, and social initiative. Biodanza created social situations that aroused the children’s curiosity to discover many and varied points of view and to cultivate empathy and acceptance. The data have revealed that collective games should be integrated into vivencias, to offer activities that allow the formation of spontaneous connections between the children, in the form of games. In time, the vivencia space was filled with the children’s laughter, and positive gestures multiplied.

The exposure to high stress conditions has led to an increasing prevalence of Burnout among teachers; this is due to emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment. Soft Skills play an important role in working performance, representing the set of emotional skills capable of promoting personal well-being. Giving priority to emotional support enables the development of protective factors and positive skills to counteract work-related stress and the onset of Burnout. Biodanza SRT is a body-mediated system that, through an Embodiment Training, promotes the development of personal empowerment by strengthening emotional skills, Soft Skills and the acquisition of Best Practices making individuals able, capable and competent in the personal management of tools and strategies to improve their emotional, affective, relational, social and professional life.

“…HMPs include traditional Eastern movement practices such as Yoga, Tai Chi, and Qigong, which have a long history with roots in India and China, but also a range of newer, "Westernborn" movement practices, for example, 5Rhythms, Biodanza, Nia, Pilates, and Eurythmy [5]. Research on health outcomes is extensive, and generally positive, for the traditional Eastern HMPs [6][7][8][9][10][11][12], and in its infancy, but still promising, for the newer Western-born HMPs [13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

“…A recent survey among 5Rhythms, Biodanza, and other free-movement-based holistic dance practices had a majority of female, white, and university-educated respondents, with many reporting a mental health condition [29]. In an Italian study, people signing up for a yearlong course in Biodanza were found to have different emotional characteristics than those signing up for other dance courses [16]. A survey among Brazilian Pilates participants showed the majority of respondents to be middle-aged women who did not participate regularly in other exercise activities and suffered some musculoskeletal pain [30].…”

Holistic movement practices (HMPs) are an emerging category of physical activity, contributing to the diversification of physical activity opportunities. Purposefully incorporating not only physical but also mental, social, and/or spiritual elements, HMPs have received limited research attention with respect to participation parameters. The purpose of this study was to begin to map HMPs’ participation potential by exploring the provision features of HMPs in Melbourne. Data were collected via internet searches, with a focus on events offered. Event features, including type, cost, duration, venue address, and target groups, were recorded. Associated neighbourhood characteristics were also explored by linking venue locations to selected census information. Provision was documented for Yoga and Pilates in central Melbourne (1011 events), for Tai Chi and Qigong (323 events), and for a range of smaller HMPs (149 events) across Greater Melbourne. Results indicated a wide range in provision features. Affinities with the holistic nature of HMPs were noticeable in venue choices and neighbourhood socio-demographics. Mention of specific target groups was infrequent. Results are discussed in light of implications for uptake. HMPs exemplify the increasing diversity of physical activity opportunities in modern-day societies. Further research to elucidate their place in the landscape of physical activities is warranted.
