BESCHRIJVING

We dance *almost* every Friday. Check the schedule: www.juliestuart5Rhythms.com

We also post the event on our Facebook page: 5RhythmsAtlanta or Instagram: @5RhythmsAtlanta. 

Join accredited 5RHYTHMS teacher Julie Stuart on a guided journey through the 5Rhythms: flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical & stillness. This is a devotional & catalyzing practice that is both dance & moving meditation, a way of embodying our deepest authenticity. In our movement we gain access to our inner and outer landscapes. In community we are held and witnessed in our exploration.

We come together to sweat, release, move with presence, and connect to ourself and community with intention. This isn't a dance class with steps or a boogie, it asks something of you: 

your awareness

curiosity

courage

and authenticity. 

In return, the 5Rhythms practice offers a deep well of resource, rebellion, renewal and ritual. A predictable miracle each time on the dance floor. 

WHAT TO EXPECT IN A 5RHYTHMS DANCE:

You may initially feel anxious or concerned that you won't do it "correctly" or that other people will be watching but there is no right or wrong way to move your body. There is YOUR way. The more you allow yourself to be curious & open, listening to your inner guidance along with the teacher's invitations, the freer your dance becomes. This process may take a lifetime but its so worth it because what we learn on the dance floor is what we learn about ourselves in life. These discoveries translate directly into our lived experience.

We will dance, breathe, sweat, partner, confront our resistance again and again, laugh and/or cry in a safely held container, and usually end up in a puddle of joy at the end.  We ride the waves in community held by the beat, letting go of what we don't need to emerge renewed, resourced and resilient. 

You do not need prior dance experience. We welcome people of all abilities, ages & gender expression. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

The 5RHYTHMS are Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness. They come together to create the Wave, a movement meditation practice. Rather than having steps to follow, each rhythm is a different energy field in which you find your own expression and choreography, thereby stretching your imagination as well as your body. Each rhythm is a teacher and you can expect to meet different and sometimes unknown aspect of yourself as your dance unfolds and your practice of the rhythms deepens over time.

The rhythms are the foundation of Gabrielle Roth’s body of work, a series of healing maps for the body, heart mind, soul and spirit that provide a lifetime of self-discovery and a path to awakening. The 5RHYTHMS practice starts you on that journey and is the place to which you will always return.
