About me - Emma

I have been dancing the 5 rhythms since 1991 and completed my training to teach the “Wave" in 2001. Part of my vision for this work is to take it to places in the community that would not normally have access to experiencing this amazing dancing path. So far I have taken it into prisons, drug rehabilitation programmes and to street-kids in schools around South London. The response has been very positive and powerful in exploring vulnerability that comes from “street culture” living. The dance is a safe place where we can be authentic to ourselves and each other and vent pent up feelings without being destructive to ourselves or each other. If everything is energy, then dance is perfect as a channel for all of us to express what needs expressing!

I have just completed a training course in the next level of Gabrielle Roth’s work “Heartbeat”. This explores, through the map of the 5 rhythms, the emotions: fear, anger, sadness, joy and compassion. I continue to follow this practice to wherever my heart takes me! I also run weekly classes and workshops which are open to anyone who wants to join me on this incredible path to freedom! “The beat of the drum is beckoning you to the dance floors! Listen!”
