WELCOME TO THE 5RHYTHMS!
We meet to move and find ourselves at our most fluid and creative level. This is a simple and potentially profound practice and you can't get it wrong. It's a chance to explore for yourself, and everyone is welcome, regardless of age, fitness, ability or experience. The 5Rhythms® of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness are different ways of moving that embody different ways of being in the world. Together, they form 'The Wave'; a simple movement practice that encourages us to find our own unique dance through improvisation. Demos, exercises, & partner dances are woven into the Wave.
A huge range of people all over the world dance the 5Rhythms on a regular basis:- young, middle-aged, old; adults & children; the rich and famous; women in prison, folks in wheelchairs, disadvantaged kids in New Haven, orphans in Cambodia; and hundreds of extraordinary ordinary people -all united by the wish to bring more movement and wholeness into their lives, -on the dance-floor and out in the world.
This is for anyone who seeks an AUTHENTIC ECSTASY in which we go beyond ourselves by going in and through ourselves. 5Rhythms Dance has evolved over the past 40 years and has hundreds of teachers world-wide. It is a PRACTICE in which the benefits accrue over time. All classes are taught be teachers with years of experience of the practice.
