Fearless waves, a 5Rhythms class, with Meaghan Tiggrr Fearless
Mondays:
8:30-10:00pm

We all have a dance living in our bodies which does not belong to any one discipline, which is absolutely unique to each of us. In Fearless Waves, we will boldly journey within ourselves to free that dance, allowing the opportunity for more authentic movement in our lives. In this investigation, the 5Rhythms Wave will be our map.
What are the 5Rhythms? The 5Rhythms are a movement practice, discovered by Gabrielle Roth, which celebrates our own bodies, whatever shape they're in, as a spiritual path. We practice the 5Rhythms by getting downright down and righteous on the dancefloor. By name, the 5Rhythms are: Flowing, Stacatto, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness. The Rhythms follow one after the next, in Waves. The Wave is our map, but the territory is ourselves, and the moves are our own. We dance the Waves without dogma, without choreography, through whatever is real, to whatever is true.
Our own body is
our compass. Fearless Waves is an invitation to shake our selves up, to
orient ourselves again, to come home. When we come home to our own
body, we gain access to the power of our inherent creativity.
Each Fearless Waves class will focus on a different Rhythm or aspect of the practice, and each 6-week block is designed to offer a well-rounded foundation in the practice. Drop-in participation is welcome, signing up for the full session is encouraged.
Let's see if we can remove the inhibitions in the way of our most creative, most empowered essential dance! Let's get Fearless!
