5 Rhythms® Dance Week

Elemental Waves with Deborah Jay-Lewin   

£350/€450      2 — 9 JULY      Anilio Campus

5 Rhythms workshop 2-9 July 2010 The 5Rhythms® are an easily accessible movement practice that is both structured and improvised in its form. This week is suitable for all levels of fitness and both beginners and experienced dancers are welcome.

Our dancing space at the Centre has no walls, so we can breathe in the earth, sun, sea and wind and then refresh and relax at the beach later. We will invite the elements to nourish, inspire and energise our dances and bodies.

For those new to this dance form, Gabrielle Roth's 5Rhythms® are an exhilarating, liberating and ultimately ecstatic approach to improvisational movement. The 5Rhythms are Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness. They come together to create the Wave®, a movement meditation practice.

As creatures of habit, we often limit our full range of expression, only moving in conditioned ways we feel comfortable with. This causes us to lose some of our vitality as we become restricted in our physical, emotional and mental health and creativity. Moving through these 5Rhythms shakes all this up, inside and out. A great way to overcome self-consciousness and enjoy the pleasure of moving the body to music that insists on being danced to.

While the practice itself is the essence of simplicity, it has the power to catalyse deep healing. People all over the world have discovered the freedom and enjoyment that 5Rhythms® offers, both on their own and with others who love the same thing. If you know you love to dance, or even if you feel hesitant, then come along for what promises to be a wonderful week.
