DESCRIPTION

 About Cleansing x-dance

This is a special Saturday night 5Rhythms Dance. It is an intentional space for each and every one of us to cleanse and release through the dance.


No previous 5Rhythms or other experience is required. 

Although the 5Rhythms naturally includes an opportunity to release through the dance, there is something special and powerful about an intentional offering to ourselves to cleanse. Whether you’re aware of what you’d like to let go of, or are curious to just let it all unfold through the dance – join us! 


To support this theme, we’ll include a little something special / different as part of our dance together. 


You are invited (of course, not required) to bring an object with you to place on an installation that you either want to release or cleanse or an object that represents what you want to let in as a result of releasing.  


Please arrive on time for this special dance. 


More details

During the evening, you’ll be guided by an eclectic mix of music and inspirational prompts, inviting you to tune into your body, connect with yourself and to follow intuitive movement moment by moment. There are no “right” or “wrong” ways to move here – just an open invitation to discover and express yourself.


Using the 5Rhythms framework, we will explore 5 fundamental life energies (rhythms) through the dance. The music is played like a “wave” where it goes up and comes back down again. There are 3 essential ingredients to each event:


Freedom to be: You’re invited to let go of the thinking mind, explore physical and emotional landscapes without any pressure of performance or “getting it right”

Invitations, not instructions: You’ll receive impulses and ideas to explore different aspects of movement and self-expression. Most importantly, you’ll be encouraged to follow what feels true for you.

Presence: Dance becomes a meditation in motion, inviting presence directly through the body in each movement. As you feel the music and let the dance move you, your thoughts will be allowed to quiet down.



NOTES

 Flow

Doors open at 19.15 and close promptly at 19.45. Please note entry after 19.45 isn’t possible.


Welcome + Introduction: After a guided warm-up through the body, we’ll have a general welcome and introduction to the theme for the evening before we go into the dance.

Dance + Music: Let go of any preconceived notions you might have about dance. Unlike anything you’ve experienced before, there is no choreography or special moves in this space. The music is played in a form of a wave where the rhythms will rise to a crescendo and then gently fall – and you’ll get to discover how it feels to move to those beats, moment by moment. During the dance, you’ll be guided with some words of inspiration and invitations (never instructions) to enhance your experience.

Gathering after class: Once the official dance is over, we open the space for all who want to stay and connect. There will be snacks, opportunities for exchange and spaces for quiet reflections, too. 

No phones: To allow for greatest spontaneity, creativity and freedom of expression, no phones on the dance floor. 

What to bring

A water bottle, there is a bathroom to fill up your water bottles.

Indoor shoes optional – most people dane barefoot.

Clothing that feels good – easy to move and sweat in. And maybe a towel (for your sweat :-))
