Dear Dancers
As we move towards the darkest time of the year, we are invited to step into the magic of the dreamtime — to dance with possibility, to feel into what might become.
To savour it, play with it, let it come alive in our bodies until it begins to feel familiar — no longer a distant dream, but something we can touch, something we can inhabit.
And week by week, dance by dance, draw that possibility closer — until what was once a dream begins to take shape as our reality

“Renewal” – Bernadette’s New Year residential
EarthSpirit, nr Glastonbury Jan 2-6
A journey of descent, discovery and reorientation.
Over five days, we move beneath the surface of who we think we are and what we think we want, listening into the deeper knowledge held within the body, heart, psyche, energy body and soul.

Sundays in Bristol
Starting in January, you can dance with a different 5Rhythms teacher most (if not all) Sundays, somewhere in Bristol, including Jon, Dan, Jessica and Tim. There will be a single web page listing all of these in due course, so you will always know who, where and when – watch this space.
Sundays in Weston-super-Mare
The venue is unavailable in December, so Jon’s next WsM class will be Jan 10th; then reverts to the first Sunday of the month from February. Again, watch this space and the websites for full details..
See you on the dance floors.
All Love,
Jon for Bernadette & team xxx
Thanks for arriving in time to be actually dancing at the advertised start times
– shorter queues, less hanging around, a better warm-up for all 🙂
