History of School "Biodanza Israel"
Biodanza Israel School was founded in 2008, by Francine Tempel and Sima Nisis de Rezepka, who were personally led by Rolando Toro to accomplish this mission. Starting wasn’t easy. Initially, the school’s first marathon (which took place in Kfar Maccabia, Ramat Gan) managed to gather over twenty people; but the group progressively diminished in time, until there were only six people left.
​
Despite the challenge, this small group persevered, and kept the dream alive. The marathons were held in people’s living rooms, much like the way it all began with Rolando. After the sixth marathon, the number grew to 22, thanks to an article published in the “Chaim Acherim” magazine explaining what Biodanza is.
​
Since then, the Biodanza Israel School has run five promotions, and trained fifty top notch facilitators, all approved by the International Biodanza Federation. More than half of these facilitators have followed didactic training programs abroad. Their experience and knowledge have nourished and enriched the current students’ experience significantly.
​
Throughout the years, the Biodanza Israel School has also offered numerous additional advanced courses and seminars focused on specific audiences: children, teenagers, families, elderly, as well as Alzheimer and cancer patients among others.
