The oldest 5Rhythms community in Australia, Melbourne is a must-dance destination for lovers of 5Rhythms.


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.

Compassion & Connection

Castlemaine - 29 Nov 2024 to 1 Dec 2024
Lucia Horan

 Compassion & connection are keys to finding peace & happiness in a world suffering from fear & isolation. Cultivating compassion can relieve stress & foster kindness. The connected heart knows how to love & be loved.


Through the 5Rhythms Heartbeat map we become fluid emotional athletes. Navigating emotional terrain without getting stuck, holding on, or pushing away, transforming us into more powerful & resilient human beings.


You will learn embodiment techniques to work with emotions in a healthy & creative way. Dancing with fear & courage in Flow, anger & forgiveness in Staccato & with grief & surrender in Chaos. In Lyrical we dance in joy & generosity though to Stillness – compassion & connection.


Movement sessions will be integrated with a seated meditation practice focused on one of the Buddhist Heart Practices (Brahma Vihārā); equanimity, compassion, loving-kindness & joy. The balance of moving & sitting meditation cultivates harmony & wellbeing.


This workshop is designed for everyone, of every age and shape.


We recommend you have attended some 5Rhythms Waves classes prior to attendance. All workshop hours are prerequisites for the 5Rhythms® teacher training.
