Rolando Toro teached the School Weekend!

The Rolando Toro School of Biodanza in Scotland is very pleased to announce the presence of:

Professor Rolando Toro Araneda

Medical Anthropologist, Psychologist, Poet and Artist, Creator of the Biodanza system across the world.


Rolando Toro Araneda is the president of the International Biocentric Foundation which co-ordinates the development of Rolando Toro Biodanza, particularly the new scientific research about the effects of Biodanza that is being continually updated. Working as a Medical Anthropologist in Santiago, Chile, over 50 years ago, Rolando Toro discovered important changes in consciousness that occurred when different types of music and movement were used together. He has since developed a growing movement of profound human integration and community based around dance, which is now being practised in many different countries around the world.

This is a great opportunity to meet Rolando – and to be inspired!
