Victoria
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, a growing roster of local teachers and more in training, Melbourne is a vibrant 5Rhythms dance community.

Join me for a deep dive into the body and the 5Rhythms as I return to my teaching roots, and the somatic wave.
This somatically focused class invites you to explore the wave through the living intelligence of your cells, tissues, and inner landscapes. When we drop into the process of somatisation, the dance becomes a path of healing, creativity, and reconnection - opening the door to altered states, euphoric moments, and the magic of moving from within.
Join the whole series, or come casually. We'll be working through the systems of the body, including cellular sensing, organs, fluids, nervous system, immune system, skeletal system and the endocrine system. All welcome, no experience needed - just a willingness to dive in!
