Weekly Classes in 5Rhythms Dance: Seattle and Bainbridge Island

5Rhythms™ Dance Classes

In SEATTLE classes are ongoing on Thursday nights. On BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, classes are on Wednesday mornings. These classes are for all dancers from beginner to advanced.

In these 2008- 2009 weekly classes, we will be exploring through movement what it is to be in a weekly practice of 5Rhythms Dance. Each class will explore a different aspect of a moving meditation. Dancing the movement practice of the 5Rhythms helps us express openness, presence and joy in our bodies and in our lives, and allows us to experience the transformative power of dance. No dance experience is needed, just the willingness to move with and be curious about whatever is present in your body and be fascinated by your own fluidity. We hope you will join us on the dance floor!

" Movement is my medicine, my meditation, my practice. It is what I do no matter how I feel. We are all born to move, To surrender to the beat. Your soul is a dancer. No effort, no judgment. Pure energy in the moment. I call my form of ecstatic dance the wave. It is a moving meditation and a great workout, using 5 basic rhythms that form a map to your innermost being. Moving through the wave is my spiritual practice."
— Gabrielle Roth

I have inherited a belief in community, the promise that a gathering of the spirit can both create and change culture. In the desert, change is nurtured even in stone by wind, by water, through time.
