What is Biodanza®?
We’ve known Alessandra for a while now, a facilitator of the Biodanza® system by Rolando Toro, and we’ve attended some of her lessons: fun, profound, transformative.
In this interview, she welcomes us into her world, a journey marked by harmony, authenticity, and personal integration. Alessandra Simonatti, based in Follonica (GR), passionately and dedicatedly shares her experience with those choosing a wellness holiday in Tuscany, offering personal growth paths suitable for everyone, from children to the elderly.
We are thrilled to give people who choose our region for holistic holiday experiences the chance to meet her. A profound woman, who dedicates her knowledge to the service of others.
Hello, Alessandra, it’s a pleasure to share your story. First, could you tell us what Biodanza® is?
“Biodanza® is, above all, a system of human integration, starting with self-integration. By embracing the uniqueness of each individual, through the experience of deep connection with life, with others, and with everything around us, we feel part of everything we are immersed in: nature!
The core of the activity is organic renewal, affective re-education, and relearning the original functions of life, which takes place in a group setting, with music, moving the body spontaneously. The methods used in this process operate on various levels, and after a session, we feel alive, joyful, enthusiastic, and eager to meet again.
Integration means well-being, recognizing what is good for me, what I desire for myself. It means shedding armors and limitations to express oneself authentically. Moving together with others is a rediscovery of ourselves.”
How did you develop a passion for Biodanza®?
“My journey began in 2007 when discovering this wonderful system of human integration was a personal turning point that awakened a deep passion for sharing. After four years of training in Bologna, I felt the desire to share this gift, guiding others in their personal journey. Its ability to reveal my creative potentials and connect me in harmony with others and nature profoundly transformed me. Over time, I specialized in Biodanza for children and teenagers and Biodanza with the four elements.
Biodanza® brings me closer to myself, making me authentic and sensitive, and acknowledging the value and uniqueness of each of us, in harmony with nature, of which we are part.
Currently, I lead three weekly groups in Follonica and Gavorrano alongside other facilitators: a deepening group, one focused on the original colors, and one for beginners.”
Biodanza® on holiday in Tuscany
Why should people on holiday try your activity?
“Firstly, it can be practiced in nature, in tranquil places where we can express ourselves authentically. It’s available all year round, and during weekends, residential retreats are possible in comfortable facilities, including overnight stays and meals.
Biodanza offers the chance to connect with ourselves in a harmonious and unique way, making the holiday special and enjoyable, and leaving us with the desire to continue on a path of personal evolution, as it is practiced in all regions of Italy.“
Who can benefit from Biodanza®?
“Biodanza® is for everyone, without age or physical condition distinctions. I have worked with children, adults, elderly, and groups with special needs, proving that movement and connection are accessible to anyone. It’s particularly beneficial for those looking to improve their emotional, social, and physical well-being.“
How to organize your holiday with Biodanza®
How can tourists contact you and book your activities?
“Those interested in organizing Biodanza sessions while on holiday in Tuscany, especially around Follonica, can call me, send a message on WhatsApp, and follow me on my Facebook and Instagram pages, where all activities I conduct throughout the year are advertised. I encourage everyone to spread the word, the most effective communication, by inviting friends, family, work colleagues, and holiday companions!
If we want a better world and to contribute to the well-being of the community we live in or visit on holiday, I invite everyone to spread the word, involving friends, family, and vacation companions, because by working on ourselves, integrating, and recognizing our own potentials, these, applied in our everyday life, will lead us to respect others and, by extension, the place we live in and the planet that hosts us!”
Alessandra offers a rich and transformative Biodanza® experience, open to anyone eager to explore their potential through movement, music, and human connection. With a strong commitment to inclusivity, Alessandra’s sessions are an invitation to celebrate life in all its forms.
