"The 5Rhythms give us a physical vocabulary to express where we are and trust where we are going."
Class Descriptions:
Early Wave is a personal movement meditation in which we follow our own dance, and are held in an uninterrupted movement session designed to facilitate a depth of connection to yourself in motion.

Sundays 9-10 am This class is drop in



Sweat Your Prayers This uplifting Sunday morning session is the perfect antidote for our overburdened lives. This is a time to come together in community and do the practice of the 5Rhythms Wave. In Sweat Your Prayers, you are free to follow your own dance as we move through the rhythms of flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness.

After a warm-up dance we move through an uninterrupted wave of the 5Rhythms, freeing your body and opening your heart. Each person is free to dance alone or with others.

Sundays 10:30-12 This class is drop in



Deep Waves This 8-week on-going group is designed to facilitate a deepening experience of the physicality of the 5Rhythms Wave practice. The safety and trust built in this workshop setting fosters layers of intellectual, emotive and bodily understanding of this movement practice.

This class brings the physicality of the 5Rhythms practice to a workshop style class that is designed to facilitate students' embodiment of the 5Rhythms.

Session begins January 8, March 4, 2008
Pre-registration is required.


Group Practice This 8-week on-going group is a place for community practice using a specific form to hold the group. This form includes a warm-up followed by a circle in which there is a time for naming what is real for ourselves, witnessed by each other, then moving through a wave. In this naming we are naming what is real. Not what is right or wrong, not the story of what is happening, just the naked simple, clear, to the point "what is". In this community practice we take responsibility for ourselves and tending the group field.

There is a pre-requisite for this class of at least 3 Deep Wave 1 Sessions or equivalent workshop hours.

Session begins January 8, 2008.
Pre-registration is required.


Waves: Waves is an introductory class to the 5Rhythms Practice. The 5Rhythms are a moving meditation that takes us through 5 different ways of moving our bodies that put together form a wave of energy.

On the dance floor we practice the dance of life. After a warm-up dance we are guided through the 5Rhythms wave that begins in flow, builds in staccato, breaks in chaos, dissolves in lyrical, and empties into stillness. Moving through this Wave leaves participants feeling whole and connected, awake and alive.

Thursdays 7:15 -9:00 This class is drop in.

About the 5Rhythms
Dance Classes:
This is a comprehensive program designed for all levels of student from beginner to advanced. Designed for all levels of participation from someone who just wants to feel freedom and joy in their body, to someone who takes this work on as their physical and spiritual practice.

The 5Rhythms Wave was developed over 30 years ago by dancer, theater artist, and musician Gabrielle Roth, and is currently taught in countries all over the world.
The 5Rhythms Wave is a movement practice designed to allow participants freedom and joy in their bodies and in their lives. Through the blend of free-form movement and the rhythms of flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical, and stillness, we dance the 5Rhythms Wave. In this practice participants experience themselves as fully alive and satisfied.

Our 5Rhythms Program allows participants to attend classes that suit their schedules and needs, ranging from the uplifting experience of Sundays Sweat Your Prayers to a monthly pass which allows full immersion into the transformative power of dance.

All bodies, all ages, always. No dance experience is needed; what is needed is a willingness to discover yourself in motion; fluid, focused, free, fascinated, and fulfilled.
