Movement is both the medicine and the metaphor, reaching across all languages, cultures and age groups to transform suffering into art, art into awareness, and awareness into action. Wherever the 5Rhythms are practiced, a community is born to dance, to sweat, to change, to support, and to provide a safe space for each of us to shatter the ego’s hold and awaken the juicy, unpredictable, fascinating, edge-walking, rock star part of ourselves that yearns to be free. Creativity. Connection. Community.About the Waves mapThe Dancing Path begins with Waves, the foundation and fundamentals of the practice. The Rhythms of FLOWING, STACCATO, CHAOS, LYRICAL and STILLNESS are guiding us into an embodied state of Being. The Focus of the Waves level is experiencing the body as a fluid entity, with the outcome that we discover our feet and stop holding our breath.About the Class Format<ul><li>Audio link: <a href="https://www.mixcloud.com/live/MeganKelley/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.mixcloud.com/live/MeganKelley/</a> Mixcloud needs to be open to participate in class.
