In a 5Rhythms class, participants move through a guided musical journey that takes them from grounded, flowing movement into progressively more expressive and energetic states, cycling through all five rhythms — Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness — in a sequence Roth called "the Wave." No dance experience or technique is required — just a willingness to follow your body through whatever each rhythm asks of it.

I love being alive — it's astonishing that we're born from this planet into responsive bodies, conscious enough to reach out in an endless game of you see me & I see you. What a wild ride!
Since 2016, 5Rhythms has been my church, laboratory & magic carpet. Through grief, toxic stress & compounding trauma, the practice — and community — have kept me coming home to myself.
The call to teach came in 2019, and I'm finally listening. It's the latest loop-de-loop of this wild ride. My hope is to help others come home too, so we all love life a little more.
Sara Nics is 5Rhythms Teacher in Training mentored by Ray Diaz and Phillip Stuart.
