“Dance totally, and then you will be surprised. Something new will be felt. When the dance becomes total, and the dancer is almost completely dissolved in the dancing, there will be a new kind of awareness arising in you.”
Osho
In this online event participants are guided in a playful way to connect with the body, with their feelings, and with something beyond both.
There are two different approaches to dancing:
- One approach is for those who prefer a physical and active experience.
- The other approach is for those who wish to only be receptive and discover the inner dance: Dancing without Dance.
Whichever you choose—the active, physical part, or the inner, inactive part—Dance, Body & Soul will be a valuable for everyone, whether or not you are “a dancer.” This will also enhance any kind of dance you have practiced or are practicing.
Joyfulness is one of the best ways to let go of all your ideas and concepts about the body and dance.
Everyone, regardless of dance experience, can join. And no matter your physical condition or age, you will receive the benefits and be part of a free-flow dance.
Participants will be taken on an inward journey in three simple steps:
- Dancing/listening to music.
A wide range of wonderful dance music will be offered. From pop to house, soul, techno, and classical music. - Absorbing Osho’s words.
- Sitting in stillness and allowing silence.
In silence, the active and receptive groups will blend together.
The dynamic and diverse elements of Dance, Body & Soul, will inspire you to dance and open up.
“This is why I have invariably included dance in my methods of meditation, because there is nothing more miraculous for meditation than dancing. If you dance fully, if you dance totally, then in that dance your being comes out of the body. The body will go on moving in rhythm but you will experience that you are out of the body. And then your real dance begins: below, the body will go on dancing; above, you will dance. The body on the earth, you in the sky…. The body will dance the dance of matter, you will dance the dance of consciousness.”

About Viram
Viram’s life journey began as a sensitive professional soccer player who later embraced a bold path in dance and holistic practices. At 27, he ventured into ballet at the Academy in Tilburg, Netherlands.
In the mid-1980s, Viram studied under Oki Masahiro in Japan, delving into shiatsu, Feng Shui, and workshops for women. He later trained at the Royal Ballet Academy in Antwerp, Belgium, and further honed his skills under Lynn Simonson in New York City.
“People come and ask me why I teach active meditations. Because that is the only way to find inaction: dance to the uttermost, dance in a frenzy, dance madly. And if your whole energy is involved in it, a moment comes when suddenly you see the dance is happening on its own, there is no effort in it – it is action without action.” - Osho
