Friday Night Waves with Julie Stuart

We've got a lot to celebrate this month, let's get to it. 🎶 5Rhythms dance floors aren't just for dancing. Using rhythm to ride the wave in our own unique expression, we become who we are always meant to be, we know more of who we are, and that wisdom transmutes into our life. We come together to sweat, release, move with presence, and connect to ourself and community with intention. This isn't just a dance class or a boogie, it asks something of you: your awareness, curiosity, courage and authenticity. In return, the 5Rhythms practice offers a deep well of resource, rebellion, renewal and ritual. A predictable miracle✨ each time on the dance floor. Join accredited 5RHYTHMS teacher Julie Stuart on a guided journey through the 5RHYTHMS: FLOWING- grounded, opening to sensation and feeling STACCATO- igniting, getting clear and direct CHAOS- releasing, rearranging, making space LYRICAL- playful, exploring possibility, expansive STILLNESS- completion, union, presence 🥁 COMMUNITY TIME @ 7:30 PM ⏳ Everyone is welcome to come in as early as 7:30 to hang out and quietly mingle until 8 PM as the room starts to vibe with our Friday night energy. If you'd like to hug on your people, have a bit of quiet conversation, take time to stretch and relax, and/or say hi to new folks who are wondering what they just walked into, try coming a bit early and see how it feels. We're doing this to intentionally create a bit of community time before class since it’s so nourishing to be with the old & new friends we’ve gathered from this practice 💞 DOOR POLICY: Please arrive on time and be responsible for the energetic contribution you are making to the group experience.

A deeply healing cathartic experience of mind, body, heart, soul. We do this practice so that we can be more fully alive, authentic humans. **this waves class counts as 2 hours toward the teacher training prerequisites This is a devotional & catalyzing practice that is both dance & moving meditation, a way of embodying our deepest authenticity, find our edges & safely go beyond as we break patterns & move into new possibilities. We will dance, breathe, sweat, partner, confront our resistance again and again, laugh and/or cry, in a safely held container, and usually end up in a puddle feeling both empty and full at the end. We ride the waves in community held by the beat, letting go of what we don't need to emerge renewed, resourced and resilient. You do not need prior dance experience. We welcome people of all abilities, ages & gender expression. We have chairs for seated dance. ~~~~~~~~~~ DANCE SPACE ETIQUETTE We come together to practice 5RHYTHMS. We are drug- and alcohol-free. We are adults responsible for our own well-being. We are aware of and respect each others’ bodies and boundaries. We touch only with mutual consent. We communicate using movement not words. We dance barefoot, in grippy socks or soft dance shoes. We avoid synthetic perfumes. We turn our phones off. We do not take photos/videos or use Shazam. We participate, we do not spectate. We start and end our dance journey together. We keep each other safe. You are safe here.
