- Roots & MOVE - 5 Rhythms with BodieNecesita la ubicación
Roots & MOVE with Bodie
5Rhythms & freedomDANCE for gay, bi & trans men and non-binary people (with friends)
The first class was sold out with 25 Movers and Shakers
Tickets already selling for Friday 30 May....
- We will have to look for a bigger hall - ha"Energy moves in waves. Waves move in patterns. Patterns move in rhythms. A human being is just that, energy, waves, patterns, rhythms. Nothing more. Nothing less. A dance." Gabrielle Roth (founder 5Rhythms)
We always begin with ground - the roots of our experience…
Solid and secure embodiment of our authentic self in movement…
We grow, move the energy to open the body into a flow of the dance, into exploring the circus of our experience in the ‘here and now’ of the present moment - awake/aware - connecting with self and others in the space…
Rejoicing in the circle of community - coming together with ground, body and breath. The heart of movement is the circle and each dancer plays their part - all parts are welcome.
No prior experience needed. Just an open mind, a open heart of curiosity and a willingness to move (at your own pace) and be moved by others…
A collective of experienced teachers offering embodied ecstatic dance, somatic movement practice, community, and connection…
