Each
of
the
five
rhythms
is
interpreted
by
individuals
in
a
uniquely
personal
way,
opening
up
a
new
sense
of
freedom
and
possibilities.
This
is
surprising,
exhilarating,
and
restorative.
It
is,
in
essence,
an
exercise
for
the
right
brain.
The
movement
is
the
medicine,
the
meditation,
and
the
metaphor.
Together
we
peel
back
layers,
take
off masks, and dance till we disappear, only to rediscover ourselves through it all. 5Rhythms is flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical, and stillness.

Flowing
We
physically
practice
the
art
of
being
fluid
in
our
bodies.
Flowing
is
the
impulse
to
follow
the
flow
of
one’s
energy,
to
be
true
to
oneself,
listen
and
attend
to
one’s needs, be receptive to one’s inner and outer world. When we open up to the flow of our physical beings, all other possibilities open.
Staccato
We
physically
practice
the
power
of
masculine
energy.
It
is
percussive
and
strong
and
promotes
connection
with
the
rest
of
the
world.
Staccato
is
the
gateway
to
the
heart.
It
shows
us
how
to
step
out
into
the
world
connected
to
our
feet
and
feelings.
It
is
the
part
of
us
that
stands
up
for
what
we
care
about
and
who
/ what we love.
Chaos
We
physically
practice
releasing
our
bodies.
We
let
go
of
the
head,
spine,
hips,
feet,
and
move
faster
than
we
can
think.
Chaos
breaks
us
free
from
our
illusions.
It
takes
us
on
a
journey
from
‘I
can’t’
to
‘I
will’.
The
simple
practices
of
Chaos
immediately
bring
us
back
to
our
bodies,
to
the
moment.
This
rhythm
liberates
us
from
all
ideas about who we are and gives us a real experience of being total, free, intuitive, and creative.
Lyrical
We
practice
how
to
break
out
of
destructive
patterns
and
surrender
to
the
depths
of
the
fluid,
creative
repetitions
of
our
soulful
selves.
Lyrical
is
expansive
and connects us to our humanity, timeless rhythms, repetitions, patterns, and cycles. Lyrical is more of a state of being than a rhythm.
Stillness
Being
still
and
doing
nothing
are
different.
Stillness
moves,
both
within
and
all
around
us.
The
dance
is
our
vehicle,
our
destination
is
the
Rhythm
of
Stillness;
our
challenge
is
to
be
a
vessel
that
keeps
moving
and
changing.
Each
time
we
dance
into
Stillness
we
practice
the
art
of
making
humble
and
mindful
endings.
This
carries
through
to
all
of
our
endings
in
life
-
the
end
of
this
dance,
this
day,
this
relationship,
or
this
life
cycle.
Good
endings
mean
taking
responsibility
for
the
whole
journey, distilling wisdom from our experience so that we may begin the next wave or cycle clean of carrying the past with us.
