And have you ever wished you could be in at least 2 places at once at New Year?

New Year’s Eve 5Rhythms Party

3 teachers (tbc), dance ceremony, nibbles and drinks 
for Super Early Bird book by Dec 14th

Back by popular demand – join us for an unforgettable New Year’s Eve celebration, where we’ll step into 2026 through the ecstatic freedom of dance, woven together with soulful connection and celebration. Let the Rhythms carry you into the new year, surrounded by like-minded party people in a space of warmth and community.

Note: The Solstice Special on the 19th is bookable as a regular Friday class – same time, same place, same prices, slightly longer – what’s not to like: 🙂

… and then in the second week of January …

Renewal – Waves/Heartbeat workshop with Bernadette

6 days at EarthSpirit Centre, Nr Glastonbury 
Jan 12-17, 2026, for Early Bird book by Dec 12th

As we step into another new year, we gather in the dance to shed what no longer serves, and to open to what wants to move through us. Timed to follow after the busy holiday period itself, why not make space for you, and join the really lovely group that’s coming together already 🙂

… and dancing on into 2026 …
