The 5Rhythms® comprise a simple movement practice designed to release the dancer that lives in every body, no matter what its shape, size, age, limitations and experience. This practice itself is simple, there are no steps to follow. We dance not for a mastery of the practice, or to “look good” but for the medicine this practice brings. The class is guided by a certified teacher, who will offer prompts or invitations and/or guided exercises to bring dancers deeper into the practice. We will explore each of the 5 rhythms – Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness.
