Dear dancer,
The coming months are packed with 5Rhythms again! Of course, I'll be teaching my weekly Wednesday evening class, with a large group of enthusiastic dancers. I'm also teaching several workshops across Europe — first up: the Resilience weekend in Rotterdam (NL).
Resilience is an Elective workshop within the 5Rhythms curriculum that brings two modalities together in one intensive weekend. It thoughtfully integrates Gabrielle Roth's 5Rhythms and Peter A. Levine's Somatic Experiencing—both powerful methodologies respectfully woven together while honoring their authentic origins.
As a mentor, I am involved in the 5Rhythms teacher training. In November I will travel to Spain, where 84 people will graduate as 5Rhythms teachers. The professionalism of the training keeps deepening my appreciation for Gabrielle Roth's life's work. If you are considering becoming a teacher yourself, I wholeheartedly recommend this training.
I look forward to dancing with you!
Ron Hagendoorn

Anger, Intimacy & Love (HB)
24 - 25 Oct 2026, Sofia (BG) & 14 - 15 Nov 2026 Belgrade (RS) |
Emotions serve as vital sources of strength and guidance in our lives. Anger, in particular, helps us recognize and honor our boundaries, and empowers us to defend what we cherish. There is something profoundly personal about expressing anger in a healthy manner — it is not about blame or humiliation, but rather about heartfelt communication that safeguards our integrity. Saturday 24 - Sunday 25 October 2026, Sofia (BG) & Saturday 14 - Sunday 15 November 2026 Belgrade (RS). Read more or sign up.

The Power of Vulnerability
13 - 14 March 2027, Bucharest (RO)
|
Being vulnerable is powerful. When we are transparent and remove our masks real strength arises. What people see is what they get, we don’t have a double agenda. Our physical action is congruent with our talk and our thoughts. It takes courage to show up this way. Reserve the dates or sign up.

5Rhythms as a Practice
Waves, Heartbeat, Cycles, Mirrors, Silver Desert
|
Gabrielle Roth developed the 5Rhythms and led workshops around the world for more than 40 years. Gabrielle created several layers within the 5Rhythms: Waves, Heartbeat, Cycles, Mirrors and Silver Desert. With these she guided dancers through Body, Heart, Mind, Soul and Spirit.
Waves: body and presence – being and body.
Heartbeat: emotions and love – feeling and heart.
Cycles: life phases and knowledge – knowing and intuition.
Mirrors: inspiration and perception – seeing and soul.
Silver Desert: healing power and spirituality – health and spirit.
I highly recommend exploring these maps to discover the depth of the 5Rhythms practice. Life is a dance—immerse yourself in it and turn the dance floor into your laboratory.
