Open Evening 5Rhythms®

What happens

• The open evening offers an introduction to the practice and a chance to experience one complete Wave. There are no steps to repeat, choreography to learn or way to get it wrong.
• Participants can move alone, with another person or as a group. Natural movement becomes dance, and dance becomes art; art is described as a path to deeper feeling and the possibility of bringing more of oneself into the world.
• The practice calls for a body that breathes, a heart that beats and a curious mind. Gabrielle Roth’s quote: “Leave nothing behind”.

Who it suits

The practice is accessible regardless of age, experience or physical ability.

Who leads it

The session is led by 5Rhythms® teachers from Poland, Paulina Lasek and Mirek Chybicki. The practice was created by Gabrielle Roth.

Good to know

The session will be facilitated in English, with translation into Russian by Andrey Zamyshlyaev.
