About us

5Rhythms dance is a dynamic movement practice created by Gabrielle Roth, who has inspired thousands of people to MOVE;

'Put the psyche into motion and it will heal itself'.

Anyone can dance the 5 Rhythms, it just requires a beating heart and a willingness to move.

What you can expect from a 2-hour class:

We begin each class with a warm-up, spending time moving however you want: stretching, breathing, and dancing in a way that feels good for you, in the moment.

Then a teacher will guide you through a Wave, which is dancing the 5Rhythms in the same specific order, (flow, staccato, chaos, lyrical & stillness).

There are no steps to learn and you can't get it wrong. You're invited to explore the 5Rhythms in your own unique way

The 5Rhythms are
Flowing
Creating circles and spirals, allowing your dance to receive and move with continuous fluid movement, . Through our feet or moving on the floor, we connect to the earth and bring our awareness fully into the body.

Staccato

We let the beat move the body, creating clear, defined shapes. Staccato allows us to practice clarity, boundaries and expression.

Chaos

The rhythm reaches its peak as we let our bodies surrender, release and let go of the mind's hold over the body. We explore our edges to the point where time and space dissolve.

Lyrical

The place we land after we've danced ourselves empty from chaos. Lightening up and spreading our wings, we soar through space. We let go of letting go and open our hearts to the moment.

Stillness

Dissolving from one shape into another, full breath and fully embodied - we've arrived home, complete, and moving from our still centers.

What to bring:

Wear loose, comfortable clothing.

Water.

We dance barefoot or with dance shoes only, no socks.
