5Rhythms Workshop

Dance your heart out and connect to your body in a two-day
experience facilitated by the Cape Town based Hannah Loewenthal, the first qualified teacher of 5Rhythms in South Africa.

The 5Rhythms is a dance class with a difference! 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 mind that is still curious!

Just like light, sound or ocean waves, a dancing body when moving freely passes through rhythmic patterns. These patterns continuously repeat themselves in a wave of motion.

The 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
STILLNESS - the quiet emptiness, where gentle movements rise and fall, start and end, in a field of silence
