The 5 Rhythms Movement and dance practice is a dynamic and creative exploration of Movement expression. It can be cathartic for deep healing and personal transformation. The 5 Rhythms are a study of different energy’s that become embodied through the dance with regular practice and discipline, In name they are called Flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness. When we dance these in this sequence it is called a “wave” it is a healing Art form that allows us to release tension and stress, letting go, emptying ourselves into the dance, we learn to listen to the instinctive and intuitive articulation of the body in movement, overcoming the ego state of self consciousness and control allowing our spontaneous, artistic and more authentic self to be expressed.

“Breaking the Waves ”

A 5 Rhythms workshop

In this workshop we will explore with experimental investigation using freestyle improvised movement and dance, we will spend time in body parts, listening and following the body deep in the beat. The emphasis is movement as ‘Art,’ how we transform our stories from held places in ourselves to become our own unpredictable, spontaneous choreographer. We will dance wave after wave until we become “danced” surrendering fully with commitment and passion and discipline to the teachings of the 5 Rhythms map. We will dance so deep, so hard, so full of the beat that you are nothing but the dance and the beat and the sweat and the heat. There is a spiritual force driving your dance, that strips you to your naked soul.
