5 Rhythms Dance with Alex Mackay
5 Rhythms is a movement practice that is a catalyst for creativity, change and healing. It was founded by Gabrielle Roth and has grown into a worldwide passionate community of free spirits. I was lucky to find Gabrielle as a teacher when I was 22, and fell into the practice like falling in love. Her wisdom, irreverent humour, love and curiosity gave me all I needed to follow my path. She often spoke of a time of chaos ahead, and how our practice may help us to navigate uncertainty and change.
In the last few weeks, I have been sharing playlists to dance at home on a Compassion theme - click link below for lots of musical resources for you xx https://www.mixcloud.com/alexravensister/
Thursday mornings continue weekly at 10am Cardigan Guildhall.
Manchester classes are on Sundays in a new venue in Didsbury.
Coming up in December: Time Travel with live music from Joe at Arbizu, near Bilbao and Vitoria - live music and mountains, cosy wood-stoves, and an excellent journey through the dance.
