New York

For 20+ years, the streets of New York City have been Gabrielle & Jonathan's laboratory, daily community, and the inspiration that is the 5Rhythms body of work and vision.

Our NYC teachers service the dynamic, diverse and dedicated tribe you could expect to make their way onto our dancefloors here. It provides a refuge of rhythm for those who are hungry to maintain a real self within the creative pulse, urban edge, and tribal soul of Manhattan. There is no more exciting place on earth, as it perfectly mirrors the complexity and challenges we face when we look within. Our NYC offerings of daily classes, short and long form workshops are available to dance you through all levels of the 5Rhythms every year.

New York - 6 Jun 2025 to 8 Jun 2025
Heeraa Sazevich

To truly listen… to ourselves and to others, it takes our deepest care, sensitivity and presence. What gets in our way of hearing our body’s wisdom and our hearts? How many times have we overridden our gut instincts, interrupted someone, tuned out… This workshop invites us to slow down, lovingly examine habitual patterns so as to create more space for authentic responses from our hearts and intuition.

When we listen with our whole heart, we foster greater relationships, respect and empathy.

This counts as 1 day Waves and 1.5 day Heartbeat for those on the teacher training path.

“When I dance, the earth becomes my canvas, my body is like a brush, and my spirit sheds the colors of my soul! Through dance, I create the painting of my life. Transform my joy, suffering and love into art. And this art has become my healing.”

“look for me on the shores, washed up in the spirit of stillness -- having given myself to the great wave again and again. having given myself to each moment of each rhythm. ”

“I believe that everyone should have a grounding practice, whether it’s meditating or playing basketball or walking around the neighborhood.”

“Dive deep and take every opportunity to lighten up!”

“The dance offers the most alive and creative field in which to connect with self and Spirit: both wildly sacred and blessedly fun!”

“Listen to your life, see it for the fathomless mystery that it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness. Touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis all moments a”
