I am a teacher of Gabrielle Roth’s 5 Rhythms dance and have been dancing the Rhythms since 1994, completing the teacher training with Gabrielle in 2000.

Dance has been a part of my life since childhood, an ongoing passion for the sense of aliveness and creative possibility I feel when my body is moving in tune with rhythm and melody. When I first came across 5 Rhythms, it was love at first dance! Ongoing practice for the many years since then has served to deepen my respect for this profound work. I have come to love its essential simplicity that is, nevertheless, a vessel for infinite possibility of discovery, expression and release.

One of the very first 5 Rhythms workshops I attended was described as ‘the dance of life’ and, for me, that is still a succinct summary of this work.
