"Freeing the body inevitably leads to freeing the heart." Gabrielle Roth
This workshop will explore how to find the 'Sweet Spot' in the dance and in our life.
We can spend a lot of our time and energy in life trying too hard or holding back. Resisting or pushing. Yet there is a place within us all where body, heart & mind are in harmony and balance and we find ease and flow. I call this the Sweet Spot. We can track this through our dance, through all of the rhythms, through our body and breath. When we come close to this place we may well tap into our passion and power, we may find ease, grace and pleasure. Whatever we encounter, if we keep exploring, allowing and welcoming our true dance beyond the struggles and resistance, we may encounter the Sweet Spot and embody our life again with fullness and presence, with energy, ease and joy. The 5Rhythms practice guides us to a deeper intuitive embodiment, feeling our way and freeing the body and breath and allowing us to mindfully attune our whole system and find a more balanced and harmonious Sweet Spot in the midst of all our movements.

Wave upon Waves
In this workshop we will dance wave upon waves, explore the waves within waves and map the waves of energy that move in our own lives and dance. Big waves, small waves, some with and some without music, some together and others alone. By discovering how we are just energy in motion unfolding into this creative moment of our lives we will uncover gifts to use both on and off the dance floor.
Once we begin to notice and follow the way energy moves through the cycle of the Wave, we begin to realise the intelligence inherent in the creativity of life itself. Flowing moves within then gives rise to the shapes of Staccato. Chaos breaks down form and limitation to give birth to creativity and the limitless possibilities through Lyrical. Stillness fulfills the cycle, accepts it all and empties us out to begin another wave.

Roots & Wings
We are earth, embodied, rooted yet free to flow, grow and unfold. Through the 5Rhythms dance the invitation is to discover how energy moves through the body in rhythms and waves. Rising from stillness, the wave moves us, expresses through us, releases and expands us from the roots to the wings and back again.
​
"Once your body surrenders to movement,
your soul remembers to dance." Gabrielle Roth
​
This day will support you into a deeper inquiry and unfolding of the mystery of the rhythms of flowing and lyrical. You will access both your roots and wings, feeling the earth, the ground of your being and the expansive possibilities offered by spirit as you open to the lightness of the dance through body and breath.
Roots & Wings, is one of my favourite workshops. Easily accessible & gorgeously immersive for both newcomers to the practice and experienced dancers. There are two more chances to join this summer either in London or Exeter.

"The dance is not where we lose ourselves. But where we find ourselves." Gabrielle Roth
​
When we practice the 5Rhythms we invite all the parts of our body into movement, to the 'One Dance'. Piece by piece we find ourselves, yet faced with the fear of falling apart we may try to 'hold it all together'. Yet it is through the practice that we learn to trust and discover that chaos may actually be the place we can truly let go and allow ourselves to fall together. Unity
