What we’re about
The 5Rhythms™ is a simple movement practice designed to release the dancer that lives in every physical body regardless of shape, size, age, or experience. While the practice itself is simple, it has the power to catalyze deep healing and creative expression.
The primary teaching of this work is: If you put your psyche in motion, it will heal itself.
The five rhythms are Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness. They come together to create a wave. There are no steps to follow. Each rhythm has a different energy and tempo in which we tap into the wisdom of our bodies, bring awareness to the patterns in ourselves and our lives, and find our own individual expression.
Virtual Classes Via ZoomWhile Syzygy Dance Project is unable to dance locally with participants face-to-face during the ever-changing environment surrounding COVID-19, we are able to offer our weekly 5Rhythms™ dance class virtually.
In Sylvie Minot’s Wednesday dance class, you will be led on a journey of self-discovery as participants come together in community. The class is made up of two waves. The first wave is your time to arrive, let go of your day and settle into your body. During the second wave, we dance more deeply and explore a specific theme.
The last Wednesday of each month follows the theme Sweat Your Prayers™ with minimal guidance.
When the class meets in-person in Sausalito, each month around the full moon, we dance accompanied by live drums.
Beginners are always welcome. No dance experience needed--just the willingness to move where the music takes you.

As May blooms before us, we turn our hearts toward Mother's Day, a time to honor the divine feminine energy that nurtures and sustains us all.
Join us for our special Sweat Your Prayers class on May 11th, dedicated to celebrating the essence of the feminine spirit. Through movement inspired by the grace and strength of the divine feminine, we'll dance in reverence to the life-giving forces that flow through us and connect us to one another.
Let the rhythms of our bodies harmonize with the rhythms of the universe as we move together, weaving a tapestry of love, compassion, and empowerment. Through dance, we'll honor the wisdom and beauty of the feminine energy that resides within each of us, fostering a sense of unity and gratitude for the nurturing essence of existence.
The class is divided into two waves. The first wave is your time to arrive, let go of your day, and settle into your body. During the second wave, we dance more deeply and explore a specific theme.

There are no steps to follow and minimal guidance—often silence. We dance where the music takes us. Each rhythm has a different energy and tempo, and we tap into the wisdom of our bodies, bring awareness to the patterns in ourselves and our lives, and find our expressions.
As we come together on this shared experience, supporting and connecting, dance integrates the mind, body, and spirit, facilitating a harmonious alignment and a state of wholeness and balance in togetherness.
We’d love to see you on the dance floor.
With love,
Sylvie and the SDP TeamPS. No dance experience is needed. Beginners are always welcome. Class space is limited, so we recommend you reserve your spot by registering early.
