Hello dancer, Recently I was in Spain for a ten-day teacher training with Jonathan Horan. I am fascinated by the fullness of life and the way 5Rhythms can always (re)connect to it. My intention in my work is to create the space in which all dancers can discover the fullness of life. By moving in light and shadow, beauty and ugliness, youth and old age. There is a lot on the dance program in 2020. We will start the new year on January 1 with a grandiose New Year's Wave in Rotterdam. Then I am lucky enough to travel to ...Continue Reading

      Hello dancer, When we move our body with attention, it is inevitable that our emotional life will be stimulated. From 'talking heads' we melt into sensitive human beings. I am touched to see how much energy is released when we have permission to express our emotions. It frees us from stuck beliefs and false courtesies. In the 5Rhythms maps the energies of flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness are related to the basic emotions of fear, anger, sadness, joy and compassion. Each of ...Continue Reading

      Dear dancer, Summer vacation is coming. The time to do nothing and take a rest. The ideal moment to read a book by Gabriele Roth. Her books consist of stories taken from daily life, and give you much more understanding about the depth of the 5Rhythms practice. I've read them many times and they still inspire me. I am really looking forward to dancing with her son Jonathan soon and staying for holidays in August on an island in the north of the Netherlands. But before the time comes, there ...Continue Reading

      Dear dancing people, A week later I look back on a wonderful time together with you. We gained so much more creativity, aliveness and courage to move our bodies and express our souls. It was a big pleasure to be together with you. My next visit to Belgrade will be in the beginning of 2020. Your e-mail address is added to my mailinglist and you will be informed when I visit your beautiful city again. A big thank you to Marije, Jelena and the team for making this possible.

Beste dancer, Met plezier laat ik je weten dat je met ingang van vanavond 4 juni regelmatig 5Ritmes kunt dansen in Gorinchem. Anneke van der Schoor start in deze plaats een wekelijkse Sweat Your Prayer. Dit is een vrije dansvorm, waar je zonder gesproken begeleiding een 5Ritmes Wave danst. De muziek en dynamiek van de groep helpen je om in beweging te komen. Het is een prachtige manier om al dansend te mediteren en compassie te vinden voor jezelf en de mensen om je heen. Ik help Anneke op weg in de wereld van 5R ...Continue Reading

      Dear reader, January 2 was the first 5Rhythms dance event in Rotterdam this year and part of it was a ritual. A simple ceremony to reinforce the wishes and intentions for the New Year. All participants received a clover-four seed as a metaphor. It took three months for my four-leaf clover to germinate and become visible above the earth. In the period that only black soil was visible, I started to worry. Have I given a gift that does not want to blossom? Afterwards it t ...Continue Reading

      Hello dancer, Recently I offered a heartbeat workshop about fear, courage & perspective. I am constantly moved to see how much energy is released when we have permission to express our emotions. It frees us from stuck beliefs and false courtesies. In the 5Rhythms maps the energies of flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness are related to the basic emotions of fear, anger, sadness, joy and compassion. Each of them as an expression of our vitality. In two weeks you can exprience ...Continue Reading
