    5Rhythms is a dance practice created by the dancer/musician Gabrielle Roth in which participants gather in a supportive community, dancing instinctively to music, guided by a certified teacher/DJ. It is a combination between group meditation and dancing with the ecstatic abandon of someone who is absolutely certain they are all alone, but instead are in a supportive community.

    The 5Rhythms are: Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness. Classes begin slow, the pace picks up in the middle and ends with a slow unwinding.
