Hello dancer, Make your dreams come true! Our 3 and a half year old son is discovering a lot. Of course there are many things that are difficult. Getting dressed usually ends with two legs in one pant leg. That doesn't fit, frustrates and makes him shout "difficult". The mantra I give him is "keep trying". For a young child, that means learning to dress. For me, that meant learning to teach 5Rhythms. That was difficult and scary! Now, 16 years later, I have the best job of my life and a dream has ...Continue Reading

The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either. But right through every human heart and through all human hearts. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. The dance floor is a beautiful place to express feelings such as fear, joy, anger, and much more. Sometimes each of us desperately needs to vent our hearts and feelings. I fully support that, in every dance I do myself and that I see others create. Find a safe place to dance, cry and laugh together. Find out wh ...Continue Reading

Dear dancer, Every culture has its own dance. Therefore, there is nothing more fun than visiting a different dance group on vacation and dancing along in a "different language"!

Both are recommended! Ron Hagendoorn *Dance of the Sea 31 Aug - 3 Sept 2023, Constanta County (RO)* This workshop provides the perfect opportunity to ...Continue Reading

Dear dancers, 5Rhythms is more than just a dance practice, it's a community that transcends all barriers, including those of culture and politics. I am amazed at how people from all walks of life, with different beliefs and political affiliations, come together to celebrate the beat and the movement. What unites us is the joy of dance and the desire to explore our bodies and connect with others in a safe and welcoming space. We learn to find our strength and be autonomous! 5Rhythms has been a transformative experien ...Continue Reading

Hello dancer, It was the beginning of this century that I got the desire to meet Gabrielle Roth in person. Who is this woman and what is it like to dance with her? In a rash moment, I bought a return ticket Amsterdam - San Francisco and booked a workshop with her. After dancing a weekend I was convinced; this woman knows how to guide a group of dancers to ecstasy and freedom. After this experience I had the opportunity to meet her many times and every event is still burned into my heart and soul. Inspiring, challengin ...Continue Reading
