DESCRIPTION
The Summer Solstice marks the day when we enjoy the most hours of sunlight. How do you mark this period: picking strawberries, jumping over a bonfire, floating flowers in water, dancing around a Maypole or listening to song birds?Using the 5Rhythms as our guide, we'll create our own ritual and celebration in a two-part event (music and themes are different for each evening):
BETHESDA (FRIDAY, 6/20/14):
Earth, Fire and Midsummer Night's Magic!
We'll celebrate with earthy grounding energy, leap over the fire we create in our bellies, and land in the magic of our tribe and community.
ANNAPOLIS (SATURDAY, 6/21/14) -- see Annapolis Solstice Waves on this website for more info: http://www.5rhythms.com/classes/AnnapolisSolsticeWaves-3623
Water, Air and More Magic!
We'll explore letting go of the night and day, setting flower garlands free in water, dance with Maypole streamers, and float in the magic of being together on a Midsummer night.
NOTES
DATE: Friday, June 20, 2014 for Bethesda
TIME: 8pm to 10:30pm
LOCATION: Carderock Springs Swim & Tennis Club, 8200 Hamilton Spring Court, Bethesda, MD 20817. For directions, go to: http://www.DanceInTheUSA.com/general-information/driving-directions/
FEE: $20, cash only ($15 for full-time students with valid ID and those over age 65 or unemployed; $10 for 5Rhythms first-timers, good for 3rd Friday classes only).
IN THE 3rd-FRIDAY-OF-THE-MONTH CLASS: Dive more deeply into the 5Rhythms practice! We move in the spirit of fun and exploration to experience movement and dance as deeply or as lightly as we want to, and emerge refreshed in body, heart, mind, and soul. People move into their dance with the support of a world of music that can rock and roll from head to toe, cradle like soft blanket, or transport into trance with tribal pulses.
Beginners and walk-ins are welcomed (there is no choreography to follow). For young and old, survivors of bad backs, bum knees and broken hearts, the class is open to everyone, regardless of age, shape, size or dancing ability.
When we are in the dance studio, we move barefoot or in dance/jazz shoes (no socks). Wear clothes you can move and sweat in. Bring a bottle of water. Please do not chew gum, wear perfume/cologne/essential oils or talk during our class. And be prepared to have fun!
