5Rhythms is a dynamic movement practice—a practice of being in your body—that ignites creativity, connection, and community. While a seemingly simple process, the 5Rhythms practice facilitates deep and unending explorations, moving the dancer beyond self-imposed limitations and isolation into new depths of creativity and connection. Dancing the 5Rhythms is a practice—a dynamic way to both workout and to meditate in the same breath. They teach us that life is energy in motion, freeing us from any fixed notions about people, places, objects or ideas. They say that a picture tells a thousand words. One deep dance tells millions.In dancing 5Rhythms you can unearth a freestyle movement vocabulary rooted in unexpected, fresh ways of moving—visceral and highly personal.

Join us on the fourth Thursday of each month for a full body, mind, and soul 5Rhythms experience with surround sound and live teaching with 5Rhythms instructor, Richard Jerram.

Each month by dancing the 5Rhythms you can track perceptions and memories; seek out gestures and shapes; tune into instincts and intuitions. They reveal ways to creatively express aggressiveness and vulnerability, emotions and anxieties, edges and ecstasies. They reconnect us to cycles of birth, death and renewal and hook us up to the spirit in all living things. They initiate us back into the wisdom of our bodies and unleash movement’s dynamic healing power.

About Richard:
Born in London, UK. Trained in Architecture. I attended contact-based improvisation classes with Rosemary Butcher in the 1980s. After entering addiction recovery, I started dancing in Sue Rickard’s 5Rhythms classes in London in 1996. That was a life-changer! At Gabrielle’s suggestion, I took over Sue’s class for senior’s in 2000 and completed teacher training in 2001.

I taught in London for 7 years (open classes, workshops, & the seniors), as well as in Lisbon and Melbourne before moving to Philadelphia in 2008. I now live in Baltimore MD and teach regularly in Maryland, DC, and South Jersey.
