The 5 Rhythms of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness together create a wave of energy. As we learn to move our own bodies to the beat of these rhythms we can experience ourselves at our most alive and vibrant.
We can get out of our heads and into our feet, get real, let go of limitation and wake up to our wild, uninhibited and free dancing self where we can feel and know ourselves to be part of the Big Dance …. Of Life!
Yes, we can connect with our breath and stop holding on, find the moves that are natural and nourishing to our own bodies, express our feelings through the body, let go of our narrow thinking selves to open up to our intuitive bodymind intelligence, dance freely and creatively through landscapes of our own imagination, and be swept away into ecstatic trance in the fullness and reality of the present moment.
There are no steps to learn. Every body has its own unique dance. We can come to the dance at any age, in every shape, size, level of fitness or physical ability. We can come along feeling happy or tired, joyful or irritated, celebratory or grief-stricken, playful or numb, victorious or defeated. Whatever our starting point, we allow our bodies to come into movement and as we dance through the wave we can witness ourselves and our energy transform. A common outcome at the end of a class is a sense of peace and fulfillment, no matter what your starting point was.
Come along tonight to hear Jean talk about the benefits of ecstatic dance - the path of the dancing spiritual warrior and have the opportunity to experience the 5 Rhythms yourself!
