My turn to teach the 3rd Friday class in Bethesda, MD, 8.00 – 10.00 at Carderock.

The 5Rhythms® of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness form ‘The Wave’, a simple movement meditation practice that encourages us to find our own dance of embodied feeling and to discover ourselves at our most fluid and creative level. Wherever the 5Rhythms are practiced, a community is born to dance, to sweat, to change, to support, and to provide a safe space for each of us to shatter the ego’s hold and awaken the juicy, unpredictable, fascinating, edge-walking, rock star part of ourselves that yearns to be free.

I’ve added a new page about this, under ‘Words’.

It ‘s good to be almost home in Baltimore after a roller-coaster ride through London, Spain & New York State.

I’m looking forward to returning to the Dance Loft on 14th in DC on Saturday evening (7.30 -9.30pm) and to Homewood Friends in Charles Village, Baltimore, on Sunday afternoon (3.00 – 5.00pm)

We are keeping the flame alive through all weathers in Takoma Park, but there are only two of these metro-accessible classes left! (March 10 & 17) After that the studio is not available. Details here.

We inaugurated 5Rhythms at the Dance Loft on 14 with a 2 hour Valentine’s eve class on Saturday Feb 14th. 8 dancers braved the weather to come on out. Thank you Darrell Duane for organizing it!

Love In Motion will took us on a journey through a fuller awareness & appreciation of our own being towards loving attention to each other.

7.30 – 9.30 pm

$20 Full,   $15 Students, Elders & Unemployed,   $10 Your first 5Rhythms class.

Great to see 14 dancers -new faces & old friends- at The Dance Exchange on Feb 10th!

Tuesdays (Feb 10th – March 17th) 8.00 -10.00 pm
at The Dance Exchange in Takoma Park, 5 mins from Metro & 100 ft across the State Line.

The heading says it all. Thanks, Sue Green for all your help.

The first of this year’s 5th Friday Specials at Bethesda will be a Benefit. All proceeds after expenses will be donated to Amnesty International, the worldwide grassroots movement of people campaigning to protect human rights.

Jan 30th 2015, 8.00 – 10.00 pm       (More about Amnesty International below)

All over the world people are imprisoned for choosing authenticity.

Let us not squander our freedom or take it for granted. Instead, let us dance together deeper into our authenticity and contribute our little piece towards the freedom of others.

Wherever the 5Rhythms are practiced, a community is born to dance, to sweat, to change, to support, and to provide a safe space for each of us to shatter the ego’s hold and awaken the juicy, unpredictable, fascinating, edge-walking part of ourselves that yearns to be free.

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL’s VISION

“We have a vision of a world in which every person enjoys all of the rights stated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights standards.

When those human rights are violated, we:

Search out the facts,

Expose what is happening,

Mobilize people to put pressure on governments and others to stop the violations.

Around the world we protect people and communities who come under attack, encourage governments and others to respect human rights and raise awareness of the international standards that protect us all.”
