Biodanza & Four Elements:
A Deep Dive
with Niraj and Milarepa
Friday 31st October – Sunday 2nd November
Explore. Embody. Awaken the Elements Within.
Join the co-directors of the Dorset School of Biodanza, Niraj & Milarepa, for a powerful weekend immersion into the elemental forces that shape your life—Earth, Fire, Air, and Water.
Each of us carries a unique mix of these 4 elements, some strong, some underdeveloped.
This weekend is your chance to dance deeply with each element, discover which ones are calling for your attention, and activate the full spectrum of your human potential.
Why the 4 Elements?
These primal energies shape your character, mood, and presence in the world:
Earth grounds you in stability, structure, and follow-through.
Fire ignites passion, courage, and zest for life.
Air invites freedom, creativity, and lightness.
Water softens you into flow, empathy, and surrender.
Through the magic of Biodanza, you’ll explore and embody them, expand your range, and walk away with a fuller, more balanced version of yourself.
What is Biodanza
Biodanza is a system of human integration, emotional development, and renewal through music, dance, and authentic connections.
Developed by Rolando Toro in the 1960s.
Biodanza encourages a joyful, expressive way of living that enhances well-being and deepens relationships with oneself and others.
This is not about performance. It’s about remembering your aliveness, moving from the heart, and reconnecting with your essential vitality.

Niraj Skilbeck, facilitator
Niraj co-leads the Dorset School of Biodanza alongside Milarepa Burgin, graduate of the first cycle of the training from 2008-2011 and is highly skilled at introducing people to the profound depths biodanza has to offer, such as sensitivity, sensuality, touch, affection and authentic expression. Using the medium of Biodanza, a series of dance, movements and exercises that create space for a deep experience within oneself and with others, each workshop is led as a vivencia, a space in which words are dropped and the deep wisdom of the body is entered.
Niraj has been involved in Biodanza since 1997, leads the teacher training program, and is also trained in the Osho Humaniversity training. He also has specialisation certificates to teach Biodanza and the Four Elements, Biodanza in Nature, Biodanza and Shamanism, AquaBiodanza, Biodanza for Children, Biodanza and Massage, Contact Education, The Heart of Transformation, the Minotaur Project and the Argonaut Mission. He has been involved in teaching Biodanza in 20+ countries.
Milarepa Burgin, facilitator
My first experience of Biodanza was with Niraj during the Spring Festival at Osho Leela in 2006. That initial vivencia had a deeply profound effect on my life, something which continues to resonate even now, and I remember saying to Niraj “if you ever decide to train people in this, you can count me in”.
After almost 20 years of dancing, with nearly 15 of those years as a facilitator, it feels that life has come full-circle as we now welcome a new cohort to Osho Leela to begin a new cycle of this incredible training. Whether you see yourself as a future teacher or simply want to enhance and enrich your own life with greater levels of expression and connection, the Biodanza facilitator training is, in my opinion, unparalleled in it’s depth and breadth and provides each participant with a unique insight into their own life and into the experience of living.
We look forward to welcoming you to the dance floor and to a deeper understanding of just what it is to be alive.
