5Directions

This way. That way. Another way.

Modern life. It’s humbling, when so often, so many of us, fortunate, privileged humans find we have so much choice and yet can become paralysed.

Life gets pretty mental at times. That’s one reason why I do the dance practice called 5Rhythms®. To get out of my head. 5Rhythms founder Gabrielle Roth called the overwhelmed mind ‘the chat room’ and I know I’m not the only one who can fall for the trap of hanging out in this uncomfortable, disconnected place.

In the dance, we trust our body to lead the way because it’s hard to make clear choices when we are heady, cluttered and ungrounded. Dancing Waves helps the nervous system to settle so we can tap into a whole body experience of listening for what we need. Clear direction can start to emerge.

This workshop will explore 5 directions within the 5Rhythms map. 5 simple, physical, invigorating approaches to expanding our movement repertoire and enhancing our experience on the dance floor, and hopefully, in life.

EveryBody is welcome. Let’s dance and take this in as many directions as possible.
