5Rhythms®

5Rhythms is a creative dance and dynamic movement meditation practice for mind, body and soul. It welcomes everyone regardless of age, experience, gender, or level of physical fitness and ability. Discover your unique dance through practicing five different movement qualities called “rhythms”, which provide a clear container for free, improvised movement. There are no steps to follow, only your intuitive choreography supported by the rhythms. 5Rhythms® is a gateway into a satisfying and meaningful connection with ourselves, our bodies, our movement, with others, and our lives.
