Dance The Elements

A day to re-energize and find joy in movement and dancing. Tuning into our body language, listening and activating our senses.

In this workshop we explore how we relate to the elements: Earth, Fire, Water, Air and Ether.

We’ll be reconnecting with our bodies through the 5Rhythms waves created by Gabrielle Roth, founder of the 5Rhythms. The Waves is a continuous cycle of the following Rhythms: Flowing – Staccato – Chaos – Lyrical – Stillness.

• Flowing reconnects us to our physical body. Down to Earth we find our feet and our ground. The earth reminds us how to nurture ourselves.
• Staccato ignites the fire within, giving us power to act, to step forward , away from the old and make way towards the new. It gives us passion to express and to be clear.
• Chaos shows us the way of letting go. Water can be gentle and calming or powerful and wild, it will always take the path of least resistance. When we are in deep, wild waters it will stir, shake and cleanse us. We can only surrender to it.
• Lyrical is found in the new open space that arises, filling up with fresh air, expanding freely. Air shows us the way to lighten up and enjoy our playful, creative and spontaneous nature.
• Stillness brings us to emptiness and holds all 5Rhythms in harmony. It is the place to arrive and be. Ether connects us to all, inside and outside of ourselves.
