"Why do we dance? We dance to hook up to the true genius lurking behind all that bullshit -
to seek refuge in our originality; to shed the past, forget the future and drop into the moment feet first"

Each of the 5Rhythms® holds it's own wisdom. As we learn to embody the rhythms we begin to experience their wisdom on and off the dance floor. The rhythms can become a source of great healing and a catalyst for our personal growth. |

Flowing - Earthed and organic, Flowing roots and connects us. Deep in the circles and curves of continuous motion we are seduced into ourselves, into the longings and callings of our body. Always the roots of exploration, the weight of our feet takes us to places unexplored, awakening in us a self removed of ideas, a self of being.
Staccato - Clarity, direction, action. Edges, angles, lines. All of these, tools of structure, tools of staccato. Having plugged into Mother Earth in Flowing, our energy now begins to express itself to others. Elbows and knees, starts and stops, exhale. We step out, we step up, we show up. Staccato is the energy of action. Clarity of intention is born in this rhythms and this rhythm offers us full expression in the world around us. Chaos - In Chaos, we shed our skin like a snake. Shifting, changing, leaving behind old patterns - breaking free of what holds us back, what holds us in place. The energy of Chaos is filled with unlimited possibilities. It is a place of birth and ecstasy, where we just let go. The potential in the millions of pieces of our lives, ideas, knowings and un-knowings are all offered into the infinite wisdom of the universe - to take on new meaning, new strength, new life, new order - we find in Chaos the breath of what is next. |
Lyrical - Freedom. Having broken the chains that bind us, Lyrical is the energy of lightness, joy and community. Breath becomes easy, feet become light. We let go of letting go. Still grounded, this energy of expansion and gratitude, moves us into and beyond ourselves with a new awareness of connection and relationship. A maturity rooted in self discovery opens us to the possibilities of a bigger self, one that reaches into our neighborhood, our community and the infinite world beyond.
Stillness - The direct plug-in to spirit. Having opened all channels of energy, and dropping into the freedom to expand, we enter stillness with a consciousness that is greater than ourselves. Empty and full, we are moved by breath and gratitude, finding our dance in the delicate space between all thing.  |
