Dean’s profile on 5RG

This Friday: Dean Kayum

July 5, 8pm-10:30pm

We have another treat this week. I love dancing with Dean: his teaching is profound, powerful, inclusive – his presence solid: challenging and reassuring me in equal measure… and always great music 🙂 From his 5RG website profile:

“For me life Is the dance and the dance is life. I love this practice,simple and profound. I am not interested in being a beautiful incredible dancer and yet the more I dance the more I feel that, simply because of my experience of just ‘being’ in movement. This practice is deeply therapeutic, healing, fun and ecstatic. On the dance floor I feel free to explore my rage, my passion, humility and whatever else emerges from the dance. Whatever your age, size or shape, join me on the dance floor, all you need is a beating heart and a breathing body.”

Dean currently teaches in Oxford and Milton Keynes, and offers weekend workshops across the UK. And this Friday… here in Bristol – usual place, usual time.

See you on the dance floors 🙂

With love

Jon,
for Bernadette, our guests & the team xxx

“Sweat Your Prayers®” – this Friday night

June 28, 8pm-10:30pm

To sweat is to pray, to make an offering of your innermost self.
Sweat is holy water, prayer beads, pearls of liquid that release
your past. The more you dance… the more you sweat, the more you
pray. The more you pray, the closer you are to ecstasy.
— Gabrielle Roth

This Friday is the last of the month – so join us to ‘Sweat Your Prayers’
– A guided warm-up then a wave with no words, simply moving through the
5 Rhythms® with music as our guide.
Usual time, usual place, cafe after (details also below).

And this may be your last chance to join us at Tribe of Doris…
(we need to close this offer shortly)

Midsummer Night’s DROP-IN Dance*

DMAC, Hamilton House this Friday, June 21

Summer Solstice is a magical moment – a seasonal ‘still point’, longest day, shortest night… and in many traditions a celebration, one way or another, of the solar fire that fuels practically everything on Earth.
For us, it’s a beautiful opportunity to dance right through twilight, from full daylight through into the dark; to play with balance, to dance the manifest and visible, and the hidden and dreamed.

This year, this Friday, Dawn will be holding our class, the energy, the celebration – her magical mix of playfulness and depth is perfect for the moment – don’t miss it 🙂

And don’t forget to check your diary below, and make sure you catch our guest teachers, booking deadlines etc (and full details will usually follow, closer to the time)

With love

Jon, for Bernadette, Dawn & team xxx

* By ‘drop-in’ we mean of course that you don’t need to book in advance – as always, the class will be a complete process, so please arrive by 8pm… and stay to the end, to complete the process for yourself and for the group as a whole (and enjoy the after-cafe!)

P.S. Our discount offer for 5 Rhythms dancers at this year’s Tribe of Doris Festival will likely close soon – details in your email.
