5 Rhythms Ecstatic Dance is the movement practice of teacher and artist, Gabrielle Roth. It's a movement form which is open to everyone, no matter what age, shape, size or experience.  Energising and liberating, it is designed to release the Dancer - the free, fluid, creative self that lives in all of us.

The Rhythms are are flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical, stillness.  They come together to create the 'Wave' - a movement meditation practice that is the foundation of this body of work.  Each Rhythm is a gateway into a different field of energy in which we discover our own steps and expression.  This is a formless form. Whilst there is structure and a clear map, there is also the potential for endless improvisation, creative possibility and discovery within it.  In essence, the practice is simple, but has the power to effect deep healing. As Gabrielle says 'when you put the body in motion, the psyche will heal itself.'  Sometimes fun and exhilarating, sometimes challenging, it is, literally, the dance of our lives.
