With 5Rhythms, we have the possibility to move in a myriad of creative ways to expand our movement vocabularies.

This two-hour class will teach the 'basics' of the 5Rhythms and help us to start 'moving again', in new ways.

All are welcome here: all bodies, races, religions, genders, sexual orientations, abilities & disabilities, and movement experience.

In this class, together, we will:

-explore the movement vocabulary of the 5Rhythms, breaking it down into small components and learning how they all fit together (flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness), to be able to eventually move seamlessly and in flowing ways.

-build new neural pathways for movement, finding new possibilities.

-loosen-up old or stuck movement patterns. 

-recognize what movements are easy and which are hard and leaning into the ones that bring ease.

-re-pattern how the body moves.

-train muscle memory during and between classes.

-take a collective break from sitting, screens.

-have opportunities for social connection.

-be inspired to move by good music.

-All fitness levels and experience with movement or dance are welcome.  

We welcome a wide range of ages to this class, starting at 18 years old, up to 100.  

This venue has a wheelchair accessible entrance, although unfortunately, bathrooms are not wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair. Mobility devices must be dry and non-marking for the dance floor. 

There will be a variety of songs from a wide range of genres that catalyze movements in the 5Rhythms. The facilitator creates a unique playlist each time so the music will be different from class-to-class.  

It is suggested to wear comfortable clothing (like yoga pants, leggings, tank tops, t-shirts, shorts, long tunics or skirts/dresses) that you don't mind sweating in and that allows you a full range of motion. Bring a bottle of water and a small mat to sit on (optional), if you like, for the beginning or end of class.

***Full 5-class packages and single advance tickets are available. Dancers are welcome to drop-in and pay cash at the door, provided we haven't reached capacity with advance ticket sales.

Please note that the first four classes, Oct 20, Nov 3, Nov 17 and Dec 1 will be 5Rhythms classes, taught by Elisa

Dec 15 will be a special class jointly facilitated by Elisa (5Rhythms) and Adriel, another conscious dance facilitator who teaches at the same time, in the same studio, on alternate weeks. It will be an opportunity for participants to sample a variety of different movement possibilities.
