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.

I's of the Soul

I’s of the Soul
This is the journey of the spirit through the body. We bring awareness to the space within as we carve our path through our existence. When spirit has the space to move freely, we find ecstasy. Ecstasy, not as an escape or a high, but as embodied awareness and presence.
“The path to ecstasy is up through the five layers of consciousness, the five levels through which energy most naturally flows from purely physical existence to its highest spiritual potentials. “ ~ Gabrielle Roth Maps to Ecstasy
The 5Rhythms will be our container and guide. Flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness are the teachers that will inform our exploration. The 5Rhythms is our practice and our ritual.
Join me on this I-map of the soul’s journey to ecstasy as we explore inertia, imitation, intuition, imagination and inspiration together on the dance floor.
