Dear Dancers,

What is there to say? Except dance!

Here is your first ‘Alone Together’ Wave for 2021:

And you’ll also find this, and a couple of previous Waves here:

Online Wave (free)

Be well, and we look forward to dancing with you… hopefully before too long.

With Love

Dear Dancers,

Since our ‘Tier 2’ status doesn’t start until midnight, our next Friday class will be welcoming in 2021 on January 8th* – we’re looking forward very much to dancing then. Thank you to the patient ones who have seen your bookings rolled back week after week…

And meantime, here’s the last of your “Home Alone” Waves:

(more on the Online Waves page)

Have a peaceful and connected Christmas and New Year, whether those connection are ‘IRL’, or via the magic of our extraordinary technologies… or the deeper magic of your beautiful hearts.

With much Love
Bernadette & Jon xxx

Going forward:
We can now resume classes ‘IRL’ at Horfield Parish Church Hall. The January 8 class is the next available on our bookings website – ‘tier permitting’.

As before, any bookings made for classes that are subsequently
cancelled may be rolled forward to a future date of your choice, or
held as a ‘class credit’.

Note:
The Wave is also available on MixCloud itself, but bear in mind that if you play it there, your Stillness may be rudely interrupted, as it will auto-play another ‘show’ at the end.
On MixCloud, you may have to sign up the first time you use it. With a Free account you can listen to the same Wave up to three times in a ‘rolling two-week window’ – that restriction is lifted if you pay a subscription, which in turn goes to support the recording artists (of the songs) via the royalties system.

Dear Dancers,

We had hoped to be seeing you in person this week – but since that is not to be, we are making available another way to support you and dancing at home:

As we travel this journey separately – together, see if you can keep yourself positive by focusing on life’s small, every day wonders: The colours in an autumn sunset, the shape of naked trees, and try your hand at occasional, random acts of kindness, to help others through.

With much Love
Bernadette & Jon xxx

And ongoing:
We’ve now had confirmation that we shall be able to resume classes at Horfield Parish Church Hall as soon as Bristol’s ‘alert level’ is reduced to ‘Tier 2’. This is reviewed once a fortnight – so the December 18 class is still available on our bookings website – to give yourself that to look forward to…
Any bookings made now for classes that are subsequently cancelled may be rolled forward to a future date of your choice.

Dear Dancers,

As you are doubtless aware, Bristol will be in ‘Tier 3’ from next week, so no ‘In Real Life’ classes just yet. [crying-emoji]

We can still dance at home, so here is another ‘Home Alone Wave’:

(more on the Online Waves page)

With a bit of luck the latest little ‘spike’ is a statistical ‘blip’, and we’ll still get a dance together before Xmas* – meantime, be well, be peaceful, be easeful
🙂 … so to that end – keep dancing!

With much Love

*P.S. If you already have a booking for Dec 4 or 11, you should have received an email about options for refunds/transfers (if not in your InBox please check your ‘spam’ folder!)

Dear Dancers,

We trust you and yours are well, and keeping breathing, as the latest wave of this global storm washes over and around us. For Bristol, it always was going to be ‘when’ rather than ‘if’ we followed other cities… how that pans out in the next few weeks will be shaped by how we respond, personally and collectively.

While different for each of us, keeping healthy in body and mind supports us physically, emotionally and spiritually, and ripples out to those around us. Our 5 Rhythms Dance practice supports us in that – ‘In Real Life (IRL)’ or ‘Home Alone’.

So here is your ‘Home Alone Wave 3’ from Bernadette – and many of us will dance it tonight, moving together in our connected cocoons 🙂

And ongoing… ‘watch this space’, for further Online Waves and for news, as soon as we know for sure when we’ll dance together in the Hall again*.

Be well, be peaceful… and keep dancing

With love and blessings,

Berndette & Jon xxx

Dear Dancers,

One week down, just under 3 to go*… hang in there… and in support of that, here is your link to this week’s Online Wave:

Sorry – there’s still a technical issue with this week’s Wave, so we’ve taken it down again – we’re working on it and it should be here eventually!
If you need to dance right now, you’ll still find last week’s Wave by following the Online Waves link below…
(UPDATE: and now the next one too!)

These Online Waves will be posted each Friday through November, and are available for at least a week.

And thank you again for further lovely messages of support 🙂

With love and blessings,

Jon & Bernadette xxx
