 Come and dance the 5Rhythms® Wave with us in Shepherd’s bush, London on Saturday evenings. Every week, we offer a very warm welcome for you. Each week one of us, Catherine Bessin or Judit Juhaśz teaches the class. There’s no need to book, just show up and pay on the door.

Let’s join together to celebrate life and our innate potential. Each Saturday, we dance together in devotion to our inner selves, in a group practice that honours and welcomes all. A non-verbal movement practice that allows one to be more present with what is, to express through movement what needs to be expressed, to transform, and to find some form of completion in the dance.

The five rhythms of the wave are: flowing, grounded in the feet; staccato, grounded in the hips; chaos, letting go of the head; lyrical, where the dance extends out through the hands into the wider space; stillness, where we don’t stop moving but we’re moved by the breath. Each of us leads the class in our own unique way, but we always follow this same map. Beginners are welcome, as are experienced dancers. There is nothing to get right or wrong, just come with an openness to let the music be your guide and your teacher.

This is a substance-free space. Please bring your willingness to move, some layered clothes that allow you to sweat, and to keep warm, and a bottle of water so you stay hydrated. Most people dance in bare feet, so outdoor shoes may not be worn on your dance floor. Please leave your words and electronic devices outside.

"The five rhythms are a map to everywhere you want to go, on all planes of consciousness - inner and outer, forward and back, physical, emotional, and intellectual. They are markers on the way back to a real self, a vulnerable, wild, passionate, instinctive self." GABRIELLE ROTH
