5Rhythms® Classes and Workshops
If you have danced with us, you know that we are not affiliated with Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms®, but we do encourage our community members to learn about this practice in order to inform their dance with us. If you want to know more about our relationship with Gabrielle’s work, you can read more about how we are different on the “Embodydance & 5Rhythms®” page at this link. Below are 5Rhythms® workshops in the Santa Fe/Albuquerque area that we encourage you to sample:
WAVES: a 5 week class-series Exploring the 5Rhythms® Wave with Chloe Goodwin
Energy moves in waves. Waves move in patterns. Patterns move in rhythms. A human being is just that, energy, waves, patterns, rhythms. Nothing more. Nothing less. A dance.—Gabrielle Roth
To find and tap into the ever-changing dance that we are, to experience and become our selves in motion is the meditation of 5Rhtyhms® practice. Our discipline is to let what is true and alive in us move freely. What moves in us is simply energy. It moves in waves. Our dance follows and charts this energy with our bodies.
By moving in synch or in “rhythm” with the pattern of a wave - the building, climaxing and receding stages - we tune in to an essential pattern of how we live and who we are. The 5 Rhythms, are the distinct stages we travel while dancing a wave: Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, Stillness. Each rhythm dances us differently and offers us its own unique moving intelligence. Each rhythm is an important leg of an extraordinary dancing journey.
In this series we will dive under the surface of ourselves and into the 5Rhythm® Wave. We will investigate the qualities and nuances of how each Rhythm moves in us, one rhythm at a time. Each class will be devoted to applying the wisdom of one rhythm to how we move through a whole Wave.
Week 1: Flowing wave—trusting the body.
Week 2: Staccato wave—expressing the heart.
Week 3: Chaos wave—releasing the mind.
Week 4: Lyrical wave—surrendering to soul.
Week 5: Stillness wave—resting in Spirit
We will dance alone and together, with guidance, with structure, and with freedom.
This will be a closed group class. Register soon!
$75 for all five classes. Call 505-920-0810 or rhythmbody5@gmail.com for more information

Body Basics
5Rhythms® Certified Teachers Chloe Goodwin &
Visudha de los Santos, Albuquerque, NM
Our body is the home of our soul. It holds our dreams, desires, passions and pains. It harbors the unseen truths of our being and the substance of our life. How often do we pay attention to it?
In Body Basics we will use Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms® as our guide as we journey into the world of our bodies. We will listen in and express what we find through our own unique movement. We will explore, experiment, and play with a new body language. Come dance your inside out. Come discover what mysteries the body wants to talk about.

Meet Life: Energies of Movement, Change & Growth
5Rhythms® Series with Visudha de los Santos, Albuquerque, NM
Life is Movement. Just as we are. Our bodies constantly changing. Our emotions ranging from one to another. And,yet another. Our minds churning and working. Sometimes overtime. How do we physically work with and ground all of this movement?
Life is Change. And, in today's world, change is in the blink of an eye. We will practice moving our bodies & opening our hearts to the energies of change. How do we stay with, and hold change?
Life is Growth. Hallelujah! How do we expand our consciousness and embody new ways of being?
In this 4-part series, we will continue to learn the roots of the 5Rhythms® movement meditation practice, and explore the questions: Who am I? What sustains me? How do I feed myself? We will investigate the ways in which energy moves us, moves through us and in us. We will practice meeting & living life with fluidity, clarity, strength, joy and compassion. We will practice being just a little bit better human being.
