“IT IS NOT ABOUT GETTING LOST IN THE DANCE, BUT BEING FOUND IN THE DANCE. ”
— Gabrielle Roth
5Rhythms®…..
A dance. A meditation.
A moving meditation. A path to higher vibration. A spiritual practice for some. A workout for others. You are the choreographer. Your body sets the limits. The chattery mind quiets.
In a group setting, each person does their own dance to "a wave" of music through the 5 rhythms of: flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness. Through this practice of movement we explore the energy of these rhythms and how we relate to them, on the dance floor and off.
All experience levels are welcome. There is no right or wrong way to move and there are no steps to follow. (16 years and older only, unless we are offering a family or kid event.)
You dance however your body wants to move. A handicap or injury/issue can only teach you new ways to move.
You just have to SHOW UP and let the dance do you.
led by Dana Danielson
Dana has been a devoted student of the 5Rhythms since 1998 and a teacher since 2011. Her love for this practice runs deep and strong. She knows personally, the profound power it has to transform and to expand all that is raw, true, and authentic within each of us.
Her greatest desire is to share this practice with as many bodies as possible, in and around her community. Her greatest joy is seeing people's faces light up after the dance!!
Dana studied the practice in many cities around the US. She was part of the last training group to have Gabrielle Roth teaching, before she passed away. Gabrielle created the practice and has written three books and produced many music albums. Her son, Jonathan Horan, now leads the Global Rhythms movement.
how to prepare
Wear stretchy clothing, such as yoga attire. You can always add funky pieces or flair, to further express your dance! Layers are good in case you easily get warm or cool.
We dance bare-foot but if you need shoes, please, only wear designated "dance" shoes and not street shoes.
Bring a water bottle. Optional: sweat towel, journal, and a friend.
Suggested Reading: "Sweat Your Prayers" or other books by Gabrielle Roth.
