5Rhythms Mparntwe (Alice Springs)

5Rhythms is a free form dance of deep surrender, a moving prayer, a medicinal prescription of furious dancing for these graphic times.
Founded by Gabrielle Roth, 5Rhythms® is a kickass dynamic moving meditation that journeys through a mandala map called the Wave-Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, Stillness

About 5Rhythms® - Created by Gabrielle Roth and practiced for decades by tens of thousands worldwide, 5Rhythms is a philosophy, perspective, performance art and a dynamic movement practice rooted in the principle that if you put the psyche in motion it will heal itself. Movement is both the medicine and the metaphor, reaching across all languages, cultures and age groups to transform suffering into art, art into awareness, and awareness into action. Wherever the 5Rhythms are practiced, a community is born to dance, to sweat, to change, to support, and to provide a safe space for each of us to shatter the ego's hold and awaken the juicy, unpredictable, fascinating, edge-walking, rock star part of ourselves that yearns to be free. Creativity. Connection. Community.

As you enter the dance space, most likely the teacher will be playing a Wave for you to warm up to. This is a time for you to warm up from the inside out. Take some time to tune into your body, surrender the day and allow your body to guide you with what it needs as you transition through the 5Rhythms, Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, Stillness
After the warm up, the teacher will guide you through the 5Rhythms and more Waves will be danced. Please pace yourself where you need to be. You know your body best.
Dance YOUR dance, for you, your body holds the medicine you need.

The space held is sacred and safe. 
Touch always requires consent. 
Personal Space must be respected at all times.
