5Rhythms® Dance with Bernadette Ryder

5Rhythms® Dance with Bernadette Ryder

The 5Rhythms®

5Rhythms® in Bristol, the South West,
& South Wales, UK

Classes

Weekly classes are a doorway into the 5Rhythms, its essential structure and character. They are also a place of practice to embody and ground the deeper work. A remarkable aspect of the Rhythms is that, with very diverse experience and intentions, we can all dance together and all find what we need.

'Rhythm Circle'
ongoing closed group

Gathers weekly in Bristol, to connect and support one another to drop deeper in the dance. This is where we expand the experience, comprehension and embodiment of the profound 5Rhythms map.

Workshops

Workshops take the practice to another level. They are uninterrupted time – often several days, often in a residential setting. The focus allows you to shift and expand the energy and ‘vocabulary’ of your dance. The places this practice takes you are unpredictable and often extraordinary.
