5Rhythms is a dance practice that encourages us to connect with our own inner-dance, our authentic movement ALL are welcome, all ages, levels of fitness, those who love to dance and those who may feel more restricted, those who feel they just can’t dance, those who feel self conscious, shy or awkward, you might find you just can’t sit still when the music and the rhythm combine and fill the space…in this uniquely safe and non-judgemental space!

Each RHYTHM has a unique quality & gateway to help energy move through our body-systems.  The music is selected to help us connect with each rhythm so energy can move & liberate. There are NO set steps, just our unique impulse to move and dance!  No right or wrong way to move here,  JUST YOUR UNIQUE WAY! 

What are the 5Rhythms?

FLOW - the rhythms of the EARTH, supports us to find our , we give our weight to the earth and rest into gravity, balance, unravelling , stretching, opening and contacting with the pulse of life. Flow is about turninmg our attention back inside, and listening to our body, our impulses. We reinvigorate our body with the second Rhythm of STACCATO - the rhythm of FIRE, this rhythms gives us direction, helps us mark & shape our boundaries, builds energy, ignites our passion, helps us have a healthy outlet & release for anger & frustration held in the body, give it space to move through & out.,  we then move with the rhythm of CHAOS - the rhythm of WATER which helps us release, loosen & shake-off those old skins, shaking-out any old dead wood, we make space for the present moment and surrender to now, taking us into the fourth Rhythm of LYRICAL - the rhythm of AIR, this rhythm brings spaciousness, freshness, circulation, room to manoeuvre, lightness, here we free-up & lighten-up, allowing play & imagination to lift our spirits, bringing inspiration. We complete our cycle with the fifth, final Rhythm of STILLNESS- the rhythm of ETHER, here we empty-out into the liminal space, the expanse, where we can feel timeless and unbound, dancing with the invisible, here we can dance our dreams, intentions, release old imprints, drop-into that magical Zen zone. Completing the cycle with resting in stillness, feeling both grounded yet expansive. 

Through regular practice of the 5Rhythms we find we flow with life more readily & can find our own pace & ground, we start to shape clearer boundaries as we feel our passion & direction in staccato, we move with life’s chaos more fluidly and surrender to it, without getting knocked-off balance, we can take ourselves a bit more lightly with lyrical, to reconnect with our joy, fun and creativity whilst we rest & trust more into the expanse & mystery of stillness - underlying it all.
