DESCRIPTION
5Rhythms offers us unique opportunities to practice different levels of relating: the dance I dance with myself, with another, and with the group. The magic of Solo, Partner & Tribal Dances.On the dance floor we can experience the patterns, habits and preferences that guide our on and off the dance floor. Conscious dance practice takes us away from our usual and worn-out ways of socializing and offers possibilities for resourcing new forms to move with others in authentic, fluid, and creative ways.
There are so many external signals, people, events, noise calling out to us these days! How can we come back to listening to and following our own energy, and not lose our own dance even when we are in the group fields of life?
These Deep Waves are for you if you:
- experience triggers with other people on the dance floor, from feeling unsafe, to wanting to feel and express clear boundaries, to feeling left out, to not knowing how to start or end a dance with someone, but knowing, deep down, that dancing with others could be fun... and you want to learn how to engage others and their dance without so much going on in your head...
- want to know how to read and respond appropriately to others while in motion.
- want to become aware of your go-to patterns: always alone, always with another, always with a group. Or, never alone, never with another, never with the group, and any combination of these.
- often feel sensitive or reactive to other people or group energy and would like to develop skills and ease for navigating the group field without having to take yourself out of the dance.
These dances are for everybody, basically, if you are a human moving and relating and hungry for connection and fluidity in all your relations: on and off the dance floor.
Just come willing to play and meet your edges and possibilities. The dance floor mirrors our lives and our relationships are often where the deepest healing occurs for us. We will create a safe container to experiment and practice skills that will serve you on any dance floor and in life!

“To make friends I simply have to be aware of myself and pay attention to who I am with."
"We have to help each other fight the impulse to put ourselves and each other into neat little boxes and pigeon holes so we can keep everything predictable, secure, and under control ...True friends support each other's wildness and expansiveness and respect each other's unknown, mysterious selves."- Gabrielle RothLet's dive deeper into the ins and outs of dancing together!
