5Rhythmen Tanz- und Bewegungsmeditation

^5Rhythms® Dance and Movement Meditation by Gabrielle Roth with Silke Amritha Schreiner

The^5Rhythms®is a holistic dance and movement practice developed byGabrielle Roth(1941–2012) in the United States.

The^5Rhythms®give free dance form and structure. The rhythms are calledFlowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness. 

Flowingfeatures round, circular, flowing movements with no beginning and no end. This rhythm is nourishing and grounding, receptive, welcoming, and inhaling. Body awareness is focused on or within the feet and in contact with the floor.

Staccatoevolves from Flowing and shapes the dance and movement. It expresses itself through clear, structured movements that manifest—as we exhale—primarily in the knees and pelvis. This is where the element of fire resides.

The wave culminates and explodes intochaos. This is the rhythm of letting go, of water. The spine and head surrender completely to the moment in the dance. Everything flows, and so, sweating and melting, we find liberation in the dance.

InLyrical, we discover the lightness and joy in our dance and in life. We radiate from the space of our hearts and let our arms fly. Lyrical then dissolves into the final rhythm: stillness.

Stillnessconnects our breath with our movement and allows us to arrive fully in our true being. Here we are one with all that lives…

...and from this stillness, the next wave slowly emerges...

Through movement in the^5Rhythms®, body, soul, and spirit come together. 

Our body awareness expands, and through our surrender to the dance, we experience emotional liberation and spiritual growth, as well as a sense of intense aliveness in the here and now.

Anyone of almost any age, including those with physical or mental/emotional challenges, can dance the^5Rhythms ®. No prior dance experience is necessary—just a willingness to open yourself up to the dance.

The music draws from a wide variety of genres, including folkotronic, rock, techno, psytrance, meditation, Afrohouse, and many more.
