Or cash or card on the doorDuring this 5Rhythms class we will move through Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and finish in Stillness. Its a time for you to explore and connect with your unique rhythm and way of expressing movement and creativity through your body, a space to connect with yourself and move freely.
You donât need any experience and there are no steps to follow, just a willingness to explore. You are welcome as you are to discover your own dance, how to connect with others and be part of a larger group in that discovery.

EARLY BIRD PRICE EXTENDED UNTIL SUNDAY JUNE 22ND
âOnce your body surrenders to movement, your soul remembers its dance.â Gabrielle Roth
5Rhythms teachers Neil Pinnock will be offering his popular workshop Roots & Wings, which has been around the country to Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol, London. NOW it's coming to EXETER!!
We are of the earth, embodied, rooted yet free to flow, grow and unfold. Through the 5Rhythms dance the invitation is to discover how energy moves through the body in rhythms and waves, rising, falling
and expanding from the roots of flowing all the way to the wings of lyrical.This day will support you into a deeper enquiry and mystery of the rhythms of flowing and lyrical.
You will find both your roots and wings, feeling the ground of your being and the expansive possibilities
as you open to the energy of dance and life through body and heart.All bodies and abilities welcome
