I first met Peter in July 2015 at an open day
for well being. He gave a Biodanza taster session which I found very enjoyable
and made me want to try out more.
I then went to his fortnightly classes on Harrow
on the Hill and some sessions in Rayners Lane. I also regularly attended his
weekly sessions in Bayswater from January to June. I am unfortunately, no
longer able to go anymore because my working hours have changed.
I have enjoyed every single session and always
left feeling better at the end of the session than I did at the beginning. I
often arrived straight from work feeling fraught and tired but left feeling
up-lifted and lighter. I feel that I released the child in me; not the wounded
child but one who loves to play and run with the wind. I became more playful in
other areas of my life and started to laugh more. I also noticed that strangers
would smile at me spontaneously. I wondered if the way I presented myself to
the world had changed; from someone shy and withdrawn to someone more open and
not afraid to engage with the world.
I continued to go to Peter's classes because he
created a warm, safe space where it felt ok to play and simply be myself. His
gentle encouragement and enthusiasm was infectious. He is a great teacher. He
ensured that everyone in the group felt safe and gave them the space to be
themselves.
I particularly enjoyed the sessions that had a
theme; either linked to a myth or one of the five components of Biodanza. It
gave the sessions a thread to follow and hold onto. All the sessions felt well
planned which also contributed to the feeling of safety that Peter fostered.
Having this containment made it easier for me to let go and be spontaneous
because I knew I was being held. I highly recommend his classes to those who
have no or little experience of Biodanza as well as those who are more
experienced. Peter is very inclusive and can cater for all needs.

Last night we had one of the most fantastic experiences here at Spatium.
We had a workshop of Biodanza with Peter.
He is so great, he transformed the whole atmosphere into a powerful therapeutic release!
it was simply so amazing...
It was greater than I expected. It was different to what I thought it would be. It has a science behind the madness!
They are guided series of sessions while you dance on different types of music helping to explore different areas in your mind...
Also, gives you the opportunity to work with others and the whole collective, very cathartic, relaxing and great exercise!
It blew up my mind!.
Great concept.
I hardly (sic) recommend Peter, you can contact him @ 07951 964942 or check www.biodanzaharrow.co.uk
I honestly think it is really worthy to give it a try.

To me Peter embodies what Biodanza is all about.
One moment he leads us into being strong and lionesque, and
in the next breath, we are quiet and feline.
He leads seemlessly through each phase and brings out the best in all of us as
he does so. He encourages us to lose our inhibitions but take care of ourselves
- and each other - in the process.
I can't imagine anyone feeling uncomfortable in his class - it's like swimming
in a warm, inviting sea. The sweetness and sensitivity help melt the heart and
embrace the world.

Peter told me a little about Biodanza so I thought I would
give it a try and see if I liked it and I did - very much! Firstly, I like the
invitation to move freely, to be in my own space at one with the music and not
to have to worry about getting it 'right', and this applies whether we are
dancing singly, in pairs or in groups. The group interaction is magical and I
think this is down to Peter's expertise. He explains and demonstrates the
purpose of each dance so beautifully and his passion for Biodanza shows through
from start to finish. I am usually a bit shy when it comes to dancing in a
group, but Peter somehow provides a relaxing space that makes me feel safe
enough to free myself of some of my dancing inhibitions and really enjoy it.
Thanks, Peter and Biodanza! Lovely venue, by the way!

On Saturday I was at a winebar with a
'gypsy folk' band being encouraged to dance and I was amazed at how easy it was
to try different types of dancing and be free.
I was with a friend who was obviously quite inhibited.
I put it down to Biodanza!
