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.

Upcoming Workshops



Fire in the Belly

New York - 3 Jan 2025 to 5 Jan 2025
Karen Ritscher

 In this Heartbeat workshop, we will reignite our desires and dreams

While exploring and hopefully clearing all that may obscure or extinguish our passion.

As we get older and experience the wear and tear and disappointments that life so often feeds us, we may have lost some of our own commitment to the truth found in our heart-belly. Over the three days, we will lovingly work with what may hold us apart from our authentic source of power. We will source our courage to feel deeply, and act as if our life depended on it, because we know it does!

Shadow Play

New York - 31 Jan 2025 to 2 Feb 2025
Tammy Burstein

"People are afraid of shadows.  People are even more afraid of being in the shadow.  But without a shadow, life will be two-dimensional." -- Yoko Ono

Shadow Play

We all know how it feels to just not want to get out of bed in the morning, to slog through the day, and finally fall back into bed. What if instead we could turn our inertia into art, our resistance into momentum? To take a chance to dance out loud the tension in a jawbone or the shoulders, embody our stick figures and move out of them fully fleshed? To give up control, dive beneath the surface and melt the ice that casts the shadows we may often find ourselves moving through?

Shadow Play is a moving meditation into what’s moving us and what’s holding us back, down, and out.  A dancing investigation into what’s hiding in the shadows and how we can tease whatever it is into motion, leaving heaviness behind as we dance into the effortless. It’s an opportunity to bemuse our shadows and let light be our muse. Rhythm by rhythm, step by step, Wave after Wave.

Join us on the playground.  It won't be the same without you, and your shadows.
