ABOUT BIODANZA IBFED MARYLAND / DC USA

Step Inside and Discover yourself thru Embodiment

Hi, I'm Michelle Dubreuil. Welcome to the Biodanza Maryland website.


I am fortunate to have become a direct lineage bearer of Biodanza, the dance of life, having trained with the founder, Rolando Toro Araneda, in Italy and Brazil, and among many others fabulous teachers, before his passing in 2010. 


Since pioneering Biodanza in our USA community beginning in 2010 up and down the East Coast USA from New Hampshire to Florida, I began the the 3rd IBFed certified school in the USA in 2025, the first being located in San Francisco under the direction of Belisa Amaro and the 2nd in Los Angeles under the direction of Carmen Aranda. 


For many decades, Biodanza has been a sanctuary for individuals seeking emotional freedom, personal growth, and deep human connection through the power of movement.


Rooted in the internationally recognized IBFed Biodanza system, our classes worldwide invite participants to explore vitality, joy, and authentic connection in a welcoming and supportive space. Our community is special. See how our practice is transforming lives—one dance at a time.


I am also the founder and creator a Sanctuary Dance, a non-denominational numinous path to love.  We study the early feminine christian texts and the ramifications of them on our humanity.  Whether you are Christian or not, it does not matter....we all can dance these important teachings for humanity. 


I hope that you will peruse this site and attend an event with us!
