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.

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.

Dancing with Love
Frankston - 12 Apr 2025 to 12 Apr 2025Renee Yerondais
At its heart, 5Rhythms is a practice in love.
An embodiment practice which gives us the space to feel into our loving essence at our core. A practice which also gets us to feel all the things which get in the way of that essence. This work is foundational to our understanding of how we exist in relationships to others.
When I can connect to myself with love (and this takes practice) I'm more likely to be able to meet others with this same energy. This kind of loving connection is what we need to cultivate more of in the world today.
This workshop is an opportunity to practice connecting with love, using our whole body, not just our mind. It is also a one day immersion into the 5Rhythms. No previous experience is necessary
Reach out if you have questions! Beginners are welcome.
