Dance Friday/Freedom Weekend. Class: The 5 Rhythms Margaux Skalecki

DANCE FRIDAY/DNE WEEKEND March 27 and 28th 2026

74 Pleasant St. • Arlington 02476
come for the whole event or single dance or class.

The 5 Rhythms is an ecstatic moving meditation practice. It is a practice that Gabrielle Roth brought forward in the 1960s and because of this practice, a movement revolution began. It’s a practice of being fully in the body and yet be able to soar. It is a practice where we let go of the social chatter and the chatter of our mind and return to the heartbeat of our feet where knowledge of our ancient truths arise.
Like The 5 Rhythms, Authentic Relating is filled with offerings that welcome us to explore our ancient and present-day truths in a fun, supportive and nonjudgmental environment.

Margaux Skalecki Medicine Dancer. BFA in Dance, MA in Performance and Healing Education is one of two teachers who lovingly brought The 5 Rhythms, ecstatic movement practice of Gabrielle Roth’s to MA in the 1990s. Margaux’s medicine bag is filled as a certified shamanic practitioner, as a 500 ERegistered child and adult yoga teacher, as a commissioned healer of the Spiritualist Churches, as a Reiki Master, medium, animal communicator, choreographer and song writer.
One of Margaux ‘s paths in this life time is to create spaces for children and adults to find their bliss while dancing on their edges, jumping into the unknown and jumping fully back into their bodies.
