Present study addresses the question of the effects of the evidence based TANZPRO-Biodanza®-Program
(Stueck & Villegas, 2009, Stück, 2013) based on BIODANZA by Rolando Toro and Cecilia Luzzi (Toro,
2010). TANZPRO-Biodanza® is the nonverbal part of the School of Empathy concept by Marcus Stueck
(Stueck, 2013), which was developed in the project “Healthy Lifestyles in Kindergardens” of the Geman
Ministry of Health (2009 until 2011). Biodanza is a contact and motion-based intervention method
with auto-regulative claim on immune competence and the autonomic system of children of kindergarten
age. The evaluation took ten weeks. A TANZPRO®-Biodanza class with girls aged four to six was carried
out from September 2011 until December 2012. The immunological parameters immunoglobuline
A and testosterone as well as the autonomic heart rate parameters were collected before and after each
TANZPRO®-Biodanza sessions of the course as a process variable. Especially, the reduced testosterone
levels after the meetings in the saliva of children show positive effects of the method on the immune system.
The decrease of IgA levels after TANZPRO®-Biodanza in the saliva of children towards age norm
might be due to an immune regulative effect. The specific effects of TANZPRO®-Biodanza on heart rate
towards a mean level show improvement of physical autoregulatory processes.
Key words: auto regulative immune competence, empathy, Immuneglobuline A, TANZPRO®-Biodanza,
testosterone.
