Meredith Davies was the first teacher to start a weekly 5Rhythms class in Melbourne in 2003. Five years later Madhuma Thompson began a second weekly class and initiated a monthly Sweat Your Prayers, and now more than a decade later, with Meredith’s husband David Juriansz joining the teaching field, they have grown a huge dancing tribe. The weekly ‘Tuesday Tsunami Wave’ in North Fitzroy may be one of the biggest weekly 5R classes in the world ~ a pulsating, deep ride for over 150 dancers. With sometimes 6 classes a week, workshops with international teachers, 3 local teachers and more in training, Melbourne is a vibrant 5Rhythms dance community.
Hearbeat Elements - with Sylvie Minot
Using the elements of earth, fire, water, air and ether as resources, we invite our emotions into the dance and journey with them through the 5Rhythms wave. When we dance with fear, anger, sadness, joy and compassion we explore the fluid possibilities of our expressions. Giving these emotions shapes, voice allows us to release the stories from the emotion, unlocking the heart and its limitless power to heal.
Sylvie can be described as a shapeshifter, a master of perception, and a catalyst. Her teaching is anchored in the body, and yet reaches into the spiritual. Sylvie draws on a wealth of embodied experience working in addiction recovery, rehab and hospital settings, as well as medicine circle groups in the USA, Mexico and Australia. Sylvie teaches from the heart with a firm grounding, loads of warmth and humility, and a touch of magic. Sylvie has recently completed her Masters in Theology and brings her spiritual sensibility into her dance teaching practice.
This will be Sylvie’s second teaching trip to Australia.
