Bernadette 5 Rhythms at Horfield Parish Church Hall

The Dance Goes On
(Thanks be to all Gods)

Dear Dancers,

We are happy – and extremely relieved – to be able to say that the new regulations in England of having no more than six in a social gathering do not apply to our 5 Rhythms Dance classes.

  1. We are not a social gathering
  2. We are both:
    • An educational event and
    • And organised sports/physical activity with clear COVID regulations in place.

We tick all the boxes to continue.

Deep breath – Huge Sigh of Relief – see you on the dance floor to recover from the trauma.

Bernadette & Jon

What’s so special about Rhythm Circle?

5 Rhythms is an enormously powerful practice – and even just as an evening class, people love it, and benefit greatly from it 🙂 … and, as Bernadette explains in this video, there’s so much more…

In-Rhythm logo glowing

Have you ever wondered about our Monday night classes? The course can be difficult to get onto as existing members and the ‘waiting list’ get first shout and then, if space allows, there’s a narrow window for others to dive in – if you are curious read on.

What’s different from Fridays, and why a ‘closed group’? What’s the powerful ‘magic’ that happens some weeks in open drop-in classes that leaves us all sitting in a circle, in Stillness, apparently ‘struck dumb’? Can we choose to go to those places, or is it some kind of lovely accident? And if we can go there, from scratch, in two and a half hours… where else could we go if we kept going…?

Monday’s ‘Rhythm Circle’ is where we gather to connect and support one another to drop deeper in the dance and expand the experience, comprehension and embodiment of the profound 5 Rhythms® map. Where magic happens because we choose it, through deeper individual focus, and active and conscious work with our collective energy. While workshops (particularly when residential) are the most obvious vehicle for this, with the trust and mutual support of a dedicated group, picking up where we left off week after week, we enable this deeper work in weekly classes too.

FIND OUT MORE
[4 min video]

Since we started in 2014, each term many renew and others join us, mixing continuity and fresh energy. Being part of this group will demand more of you, but equally it will give more back. It will demand your curiosity and your commitment both to your own process and that of the group as you join a collective exploration. The map is rich and profound, the landscape endless and fascinating, the process powerful and deeply healing.

So if you’d like to practice some deeper 5 Rhythms ‘magic’, we set off for new terms in late September, in early January, and after Easter – it may not be Platform 9 3/4, but the journey can be as exciting, unexpected, and literally life-changing. There are always a few spaces each term, so why not join the waiting list? It’s never too late to find out more: watch the video, contact Bernadette or Jon, and indeed, speak with any recent Rhythm Circle member on a Friday night… once words return…

See you on the dance floor

Much Love
Bernadette, Jon and team xxx

To receive an invitation in advance of each new term, join our waiting list.

Zoom space to dance this week’s Online Wave together
*REGISTER HERE*

STOP PRESS!
FRIDAY CLASSES RESTARTING ON
FRIDAY SEPT 4 –
BOOK HERE
PRE-BOOKING ESSENTIAL
dance at the venue OR join us online 🙂

We’re still unsure when we’ll dancing in a studio/hall again, so meantime here’s a chance to see, and dance with (and optionally share at the end with) folks you might not have danced with since before Lockdown! This is not a taught class – the space will be technically ‘held’ by a member of the team, and we will dance to Bernadette’s current fabulous pre-recorded Online Wave.

Where: Chez vous – on Zoom (+Mixcloud)
When: 7:45pm for 8pm Friday night
– next one: [cancelled]

All are welcome, but you do need to:

  • be on our mailing list. If you’re not on it, and you’d like to join us on Zoom, you can join it first here*.
  • register in advance using the link below – please don’t leave that ’til the last minute!**

Notes:
* If you don’t want weekly/fortnightly class/download emails, select ‘Workshops & Events only – and you can unsubscribe anytime, using the links in the foot of every email.
** If you do register after about 7pm please be patient – I’ll be setting up, and it may take me a little while to see your registration and send you the meeting details.

How it works

We warm up together from 7:45pm (using Gabrielle Roth’s music made available by permission from Raven Recordings for this purpose). Please arrive in plenty of time.

Then we use Zoom and the current Online Wave.
(Please note this means you need either a computer or two mobile devices – you can’t use Zoom and a browser/Mixcloud at the same time on a phone/tablet!)

Register here:

Join our Mailing list (if you haven’t already)

Register for the Zoom meeting here:

P.S. If you have any problems either registering or logging in to the actual session on Zoom, please TEXT Jon on 07970 069 256 – please don’t email, I won’t get it ’til afterwards!

PLEASE NOTE:

You are responsible for setting up your own safe dancing space, and for holding your own physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual wellbeing!

Make sure the space is safe and give yourself as much room to move as possible.

Have drinking water on hand, and anything you might need to make yourself comfortable, both during your dance and immediately afterwards.

Set-up anything else that would help make the vibe nice – lighting, an altar, etc.

Move at your own pace and in ways that suit your own body.

Look after yourself, anyone else in the room, and the environment you are in.

In-Rhythm and the teacher/facilitator cannot take responsibility for any injuries sustained as a result of participating in these sessions.

And finally… please let’s keep our online spaces completely safe and respectful – please no recording of any kind, whether audio, video or screenshots etc. Thank you.

(Thanks to DancingTao in London, on whose guidelines this is based.)
