Come Dance Out to the Pulse of World and International Music!
This Week's Invitation:
An Invitation To Bond
This week 5/17/12:
Sasa Bencina returns and invites us to question: How can we melt into our hearts and open to the bigger pulse? How can we bond with ourselves, with others, with the world? Can we express this melting, opening, bonding curiosity through our dance? Let's practice together!
We each possess a fierce wisdom that comes from within. Together every week we practice getting out of its way, getting into our groove and shedding the things that are blocking its blossoming - This is our medicine.
About 5Rhythms
The 5Rhythms is a simple, powerful moving meditation that anyone – of any age, size, or physical ability - can practice. There are no steps to follow, no choreography to learn, no way to do it wrong. The only requirement is a body that is still breathing, a heart that is still beating, and a mind that is still curious!
The 5Rhythms are: Flowing The fluid, continuous, grounded glide of our own movement
Staccato: The percussive, pulsing beat that shapes us a thousand different ways
Chaos: The rhythm of letting go, releasing into the wildness of our dance that can never be planned or repeated
Lyrical: Where we lighten up and disappear into our own uniqueness
Stillness: The quiet emptiness, where gentle movements rise and fall, start and end, in a field of silence
This Thursday and Every Thursday
7:00-9:00 pm Start time: no admittance after 7:30 End time: We encourage you to stay through the entire wave, as going through the maps of the 5Rhythms are magic...you never know what is on the other side! If you have to leave early, please be mindful when you leave so as not to disturb the remaining dancers during the stillness meditation.
Please Remember: No talking on the dance floor
"This is the time for a new beginning...taking care of you and making things happen. Do not be afraid of your own fear. Know that you may be afraid whether or not you walk a new path." "Allow yourself to FEEL RAW, VULNERABLE, SCARED, JOYFUL, SEXY, ALIVE, HAPPY!"
"Why do we dance? We dance to hook up to the true genius lurking behind all that bullshit - to seek refuge in our originality; to shed the past, forget the future and fall into the moment feet first."

"5Rhythms is the art of inspiring people to turn themselves inside out, to transform their suffering
into art, their art into awareness, and their awareness into action."
