Victoria

The oldest 5Rhythms community in Australia, Melbourne is a must-dance destination for lovers of 5Rhythms.


Meredith Davies was the first teacher to start a weekly 5Rhythms class in Melbourne in 2003.  Five years later Madhuma Thompson began a second weekly class and initiated a monthly Sweat Your Prayers, and now more than a decade later, with Meredith’s husband David Juriansz joining the teaching field, they have grown a huge dancing tribe.  The weekly ‘Tuesday Tsunami Wave’ in North Fitzroy may be one of the biggest weekly 5R classes in the world ~ a pulsating, deep ride for over 150 dancers.  With sometimes 6 classes a week, workshops with international teachers, a growing roster of local teachers and more in training, Melbourne is a vibrant 5Rhythms dance community.

Wild Ride 5Rhythms Heartbeat & Waves

Melbourne - 21 Mar 2025 to 23 Mar 2025
Meredith Davies - David Juriansz

 The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Alan Watts


As humans we are frequently facing some upset or upheaval. Losses both significant and trivial. Avoiding or fighting against the unpredictability of life rarely works out well. We can feel ungrounded, irritable, lost and lacking a compass.


Unforeseen, unwanted situations, offer both disappointment and the opportunity to respond in a spontaneous, artful way. As Gabrielle Roth states simply “Chaos is Art”.


We’ll move the aliveness of our fear with courage through unpredictability. Softening, slowing down and listening to the subtle messages as we dance with chaos into lyrical and stillness. Cultivating patience to allow new possibilities to arise.


Here we catalyse a more creative, courageous way of living, trusting in mystery, wonder and magic. We can let go of thinking we know what we need, and become receptive to what we are being given and draw on what already resides within us.


A collision of the world of your dreams and the world’s dreams for you. When you’re dancing that Wave, it’s an exciting wild ride that reforms and subsides, gently carrying you all the way to the shore of your soulful self.

Connections

Frankston - 12 Apr 2025 to 12 Apr 2025
Renee Yerondais


Working from home. 

Looking to social media for connection.

Avoiding eye-contact. 

Socially anxious.

Dating online.

Men and women not understanding one another.

Residue from the lock-down...


It feels like there’s a chronic lack of confidence in related to each other.

We’ve forgotten what it takes to connect.


Conscious dance has much to teach us about connection.

When I connect authentically to myself, feeling my aliveness, and what makes up my being, I’m more likely to feel more confident connecting with another, my environment, and eventually with a group. Showing up authentically, just as I am, one moment to the next, so that I can feel at ease with being in relationship to others.

In this one day 5Rhythms workshop we will explore embodiment exercises that encourage connection with yourself and others. If you’ve been wanting more connection in your life, but unsure how to get it, this workshop will offer you a step in towards what you need.


Reach out if you have questions! Beginners are welcome.
