| Pathways At Waves Studio we have created the possibility of encountering, engaging and living the 5Rhythms dance practice. We have developed pathways of student involvement into learning communities where students may dive into the deep waters of the 5Rhythms, their own dance, and their lives. These pathways are designed to allow students to discover and cultivate their own relationship to the dance. Initially, we discover our dance and the freedom of expression that comes with our bodies in motion. This can be exhilarating, and 5Rhythms classes can be these incredible experiences of connection to freedom, possibility and creativity. Yet, if we hang out here long enough, even this becomes familiar. This is when the 5Rhythms practice is ready to be truly encountered. You see, there are 5Rhythms teachers, and 5Rhythms teachings, but the real teacher is your body in motion. 5Rhythms teachers are here to guide you into your own body in motion, and we have 5Rhythms teachings to help us do this. The real work of the 5Rhythms teacher is to seduce you out of your own way, so that you may discover yourself in the fullness of your own motion. We dance each of the rhythms to this end, discovering and applying the many teachings of each rhythm into our dance and into our life. Classes: Classes are where we practice the 5Rhythms. Continuing 5Rhythms students use classes as a place to integrate their workshop teachings and experiences, while further developing their relationship to the dance. New 5Rhythms students can use classes to develop their movement vocabulary and as a stepping-stone into workshops. Classes also serve as an introduction to the 5Rhythms. Waves workshops: Waves workshops focus on the physicality of the 5Rhythms, and offer the invaluable opportunity to discover the fullness of your body in motion. These workshops focus on the physical teachings of each of the 5Rhythms, where we can develop our relationship with the foundation of the work. Waves work is both a doorway into further workshops for newer students, and an important space for integrating and re-forming our dance for more advanced students. Other 5Rhythms workshops: Gabrielle Roth, founder of the 5Rhythms, has developed maps to guide us towards freeing the body, freeing the heart and freeing the mind. She says: "When we move the body we awaken the heart, |

| These maps include Heartbeat, which focuses on the map of the heart; Cycles, which applies the 5Rhythms to our life cycle from birth to death; and Mirrors, which explores the territory of the mind. These workshops are taught by Moving Center Faculty and are highly recommended. Certified 5Rhythms teachers around the world create and offer a wide range of other workshops, often infusing their own approaches to life into their workshops. On-Going Groups: We have created pathways of involvement for students to come into relationship with the spiritual path of the 5Rhythms with workshops that lead to On-Going Groups. These On-Going Groups are learning communities that allow connection to a group of students living and practicing this work. In these On-Going Groups students become leaders in their own lives by engaging the monumental task of fully being themselves, and bringing the gift of themselves out into their lives and the world, touching people with the awesome and irresistible power of their authenticity. |
