DESCRIPTION

Friends, I am delighted to announce my first two 5Rhythms Emerging Waves classes in Philadelphia.

When I first came to 5Rhythms in 2016, I was feeling very lost in my life. As I danced my way through the class, my inner critic was so noisy the whole time, telling me I would never return.

But a few days later, I realized I didn't feel quite so lost anymore. And so I came back. Again and again and again.

Over the years, through hundreds of hours on the dance floor, I discovered the gift of sustained practice: moving the body allows the chatter of the mind to quiet, making space for a truer, more authentic expression of yourself to emerge.

Now, a decade later, it is my honor to fully step into the teacher training path.

Please join me for my first two 5Rhythms classes, both on our beloved home floor at Summit Presbyterian, 6757 Greene St.

Tuesday, April 21, 7-9 pm
Saturday, May 9, 3-5 pm

I would love for you to join me in this exciting phase of my dedication to this beautiful, transformative practice. Let's stumble, dance, and grow stronger together.

Samantha Slade is a 5Rhythms teacher in training, mentored by Alessandro Moruzzi, Vehllia Tranne, and Karen Chapman.

Emerging Waves is a space held by a 5Rhythms Teacher in Training. In this class, you are invited to move through the 5Rhythms with simple guidance, exploring body parts and giving space for your personal expression. Music becomes the teacher alongside the Teacher in Training, supporting your movement practice through the Waves map of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness.

Rooted in the teachings of Gabrielle Roth, 5Rhythms® is practiced by tens of thousands of people around the world. It is a movement meditation, a creative path, and a philosophy grounded in the belief that when we move, we heal. Movement becomes both medicine and metaphor, opening space for personal insight and embodied presence.

This practice welcomes every body, every culture, every age, and every level of experience. Wherever the 5Rhythms are danced, a community forms - one that moves together, sweats together, grows together, and supports one another's freedom and authenticity. Here we meet ourselves and each other with curiosity, kindness, and the courage to be real.

Creativity. Connection. Community.

Samantha Slade is currently participating in the training path to become a certified 5Rhythms teacher.
