5 Rhythms is an exhilarating class based on improvised movement and spirituality, and is a simple, powerful moving meditation that anyone – of any age, size or physical ability can practise. There are no steps to follow, no choreography to learn, no way to do it wrong. The only requirement is a body that is still breathing, a heart that is still beating and a mind that is still curious!
Just like light, sound or ocean waves, a dancing body when moving freely passes through five distinct rhythmic patterns. These patterns continuously repeat themselves in a wave of motion.
The five rhythms are:
FLOWING – the fluid, continuous, grounded glide of our own movements
STACCATO – the percussive, pulsing beat that shapes us a thousand different ways
CHAOS – the rhythm of letting go, releasing into the catalytic wildness of our dance that can never be planned or repeated
LYRICAL – the rhythm of trance, where the weight of self-consciousness dissolves, where we lighten up and disappear into our own uniqueness
STILLNESS – the quiet emptiness, where gentle movements rise and fall, start and end, in a field of silence
