"I have danced 5Rhythms since 2007, and other forms of movement since 1999. 5Rhythms has transformed me on all levels of my being. After living in this hardened masculine body for most of my life, I have come into my feminine essence, which continues to evolve and grow. It has been a huge transformational pathway for me physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, and my gifts continue to reveal themselves in the practice.

I grew up in Harlem in the Late 70’s. From a very early age, I was told that a man was not supposed to cry, and that the way to gain respect was through violence. Today, I take the impulse of violence to the dance floor, and my weapons of choice are my music, my feet, my sweat, my heart, and the map of 5Rhythms. Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms is my home and  sanctuary."
