The 5Rhythms comprise a simple movement practice designed to release the dancer that lives in every body, no matter what its shape, size, age, limitations and experience. The 5Rhythms dance practice was founded by Gabrielle Roth; an urban shaman. The practice itself is simple, there are no steps to follow. The teaching is deep. And it comes from the dancer's wisdom and embodied insight. In each dance, we explore each of the 5 rhythms, not for its mastery, but for its medicine. We will co-create a space to experience the rhythms of flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness (also known as a 5Rhythms Wave). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cYYzcTzm6Y&t=60s

About the instructor: On Valentine's Day 2002, Jilsarah fell in love feet first with the Rhythms and with the powerful medicine of this practice. Ten years later, she joined the vibrant, creative, and committed NYC teachers' community. Since then, she has had the blessed opportunity to share her love for the magic and the medicine of the 5Rhythms practice in NYC and Western MA. She’s been leading 5Rhythms classes in the River Valley since April 2024. Movement transforms minds of many kinds, rendering us simple souls of simple rhythm.
