These family classes are completely free for all participants, as this project is funded by the city council of Helsinki. Families living in Helsinki are welcome.
This is a closed group which will meet six times. I have reserved a couple of trial spots for the first class, but the priority is for families committing to the whole series.
No previous experience necessary. All ranges of experience, physical ability, all ages, genders, and body types are welcome. The dance returns us to our senses, breath, and body awareness. Dancing allows us to cultivate creativity and resilience in these chaotic times. 5Rhythms is a creative dance and movement meditation practice – and it’s a lot more than that too. In these times in particular, it is a survival kit and a first aid kit, a refuge, a place of rejuvenation and rest, where we can gather ourselves, and remember our own aliveness. The dance calls us to be together and connected despite our isolation and social distancing. IMPORTANT NOTES: • Classes are taught via Zoom. • The classes are live-stream only. They will not be recorded for later use due to music copyrights. All participants agree not to record any part of the class. • Classes are taught mostly in Finnish, if needed I may drop in some instruction in English. But come prepared for a class in Finnish only. • Classes are available only for participants within Helsinki (funding reasons) (music licensing restricts participants to Finland only) • Pre-registration is required. Registration closes 1 hour before the start of the class. Register here.
