Dancing Eye

5 Rhythms is a dance movement/​therapy started in America by Gabriel Roth. It’s not huge here but the people that go are pretty dedicated to the practise. In essence it’s about expressing the body through dance in five inherent rhythms of flow, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness. In practise it’s a chance to let your body go for two hours.
There are teachers around London mostly working together to offer a class on a different night/​day of the week. They all have a different method of teaching but the one I enjoy best is in a church on a Thursday night. The high ceilings and religious aura add to the experience.
£12 a time is not that cheap if you do it on a regular basis but it is a positive and wholesome way to spend a night.
