“The only way out is through.” This wisdom applies particularly to our emotions. When we shut out our emotional life we become tired and perhaps even burn out. The dance floor is a wonderful place to awaken our emotional life in a safe and playful way. On Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 October there is a new Waves & Heartbeat weekend in Rotterdam (NL). Everyone is welcome. Especially anyone who only does two-hour dance sessions. Broaden your experience and discover what depth a weekend can bring. I still remember moment ...Continue Reading

Hello dancer, People sometimes ask me what spirituality is. I have experienced the first breath of my son, and the last breath of my father and mother. Spirit is breath. Everyone is spiritual, although some people are more aware of it than others. The power of 5Rhythms certainly helps you discover the relentless spiritual power of life. Within yourself and with each other as a group. It is with great pleasure that I announce a powerful Heartbeat workshop in Rotterdam (NL). In Heartbeat workshops we bring the essentia ...Continue Reading

Dear Dancer, This year will go down in the books as the year with far fewer workshops. And yet we make the best of it time and time again. Dancing, falling down and getting back up is the movement that many have done with me! I am working on powerful new 5Rhythms initiatives that I will invite you to in the coming year. At the end of this year, it's time for a thank you! Thank you to all the people who keep inviting me to teach, thank you to the team in Rotterdam who make the weekly classes a great success, and of co ...Continue Reading

Dear dancer, I love the staccato rhythm. I have learned so much over the past decades. This Anger, Intimacy & Love Heartbeat workshop is created from my heart. In this rhythm we distinguish between the shadow and the light. Seen from the light, staccato is a clear, powerful, direct message, aimed at defending what we hold dear. It is never aimed at destruction and remains connected to our feelings. In the shadows this rhythm is destructive and all contact with ourselves is absent. The light of staccato connects, ...Continue Reading

The early bird ends on 22nd of October, so don't wait too long. I hope to see you and dance together soon. Ron Hagendoorn Info & Bookings Ron's websi ...Continue Reading

Dear people, I miss you. With pain in my heart I have had to cancel all workshops and classes from March 2020. Online events are a reasonable alternative, but nothing beats a room full of dancing and sweating people. With a good hug afterwards and delicious homemade lunches. How I miss it, how I miss you! Even if it's my worst year of work ever, the birth of my son and the start of my new family is the best thing that happened to me. Isn't it that often? When the one you love falls away, something new appears that gi ...Continue Reading
