Description:

Just like light, sound, or ocean waves, a dancing body moving freely passes through five distinct rhythmic patterns. These patterns continuously repeat themselves in a wave of motion. Gabrielle Roth's 5Rhythms® are: FLOWING – the fluid, continuous, grounded glide of our own movements; STACCATO – the percussive, pulsing beat that shapes us a thousand different ways; CHAOS – the rhythm of letting go, releasing into the catalytic wildness of our dance that can never be planned or repeated; LYRICAL – the rhythm of trance, where the weight of self-consciousness dissolves, where we lighten up and disappear into our own uniqueness; and STILLNESS – the quiet emptiness, where gentle movements rise and fall, start and end, in a field of silence. Please join Aaron Lifshin for an introduction to the 5Rhythms movement practice, at RhythmWave.
