Dear dancer, Are you interested in learning more about setting boundaries? Anger is the emotion that can help you with this. For many, anger may seem overwhelming or unacceptable. However, it serves to defend what you cherish, including your own energetic space. The key is to harness this energy in a balanced way, allowing it to flow without judgment. In the workshop Anger, Intimacy & Love (5 - 6 April 2025 in Bucharest, Romania) we will delve deeply into this topic through dance, conversation, and writing. Join ...Continue Reading

Dear Romanian dancers, A teacher once told me, "You can start over every time." These words have stuck with me. It's a beautiful metaphor for the dance floor, where we sometimes find ourselves unsure of how to move. By focusing on the movement of just one body part and letting go of our worries, everything shifts once again. That is what starting over means. I’m looking forward to being with you all again this year! Join me on January 25 & 26 for a workshop about flowing, fear, and courage, and on April ...Continue Reading

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

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
