Biodanza as a Tool for Integration

By Luisa Josefina Morantes Carvajal and Willian José Alviarez Rojas

Biodanza pursues a conception of unity and respect for the other and for ourselves; where there are no limits of normality. Rolando Toro states that the process of change requires, therefore, a vision that transcends individualism, ideologies and beliefs, for the awakening of a relational, affective and ontocosmological human. In our culture, disabilities mark very circumscribed limits and spaces of non-participation in individuals with special differences. Hearing impaired people do not escape from this reality. In the school context, hearing impaired children are regularly separated or limited from enriching experiences with normal children. Starting from the group conception of biodanza, this idea of bringing these differences together is born; where the processes of communication and affectivity that favor an environment for learning are facilitated. The present material is the result of the experiences of encounter with these children, who under their guidance provided us with loving tools for this wonderful integration.
