My name is Arisa, a 5Rhythms® Teacher in Training mentored by Alessandro Moruzzi, Vehllia Tranne and Karen Chapman.

I fell in love with the 5Rhythms® on many dance floors around the world, beginning in the mountains of Colorado, to the Hawaiian islands and beyond. I found a deep sense of belonging and coherence. A weaving of sorts. I felt home each time I was on a 5rhythms dance floor.

Dancing the 5Rhythms is deep medicine, each Rhythm offering embodied wisdom both simple and intricate. The beauty of the 5Rhythms® is the wisdom of the Wave itself: Flowing into Staccato, into Chaos, into Lyrical, into Stillness. The teaching emerges from the full spectrum. This is a moving map where inner discovery emerges from the inside out through permission, breath, sensation and movement.

These "Emerging Waves" are just that: trusting in the music, in the moving body, in what emerges. Welcome. Exactly as you are and come to be danced. Full. Empty. Curious. Drained. Bored. Whimsical. All is welcome within the dance.

My teaching style is grounded, deep and spacious. I look forward to embarking on this journey together with a beginner's mind.
