5Rhythms Dancing in Gratitude

11/24/2020

​​​
​Writer and feminist, Alice Walker once wrote that ‘thank you' is the best prayer that anyone can say because it expresses extreme gratitude, humility, and understanding.

I am grateful for the privilege to stand on this land 
To dance on this land
I am grateful for the land I was born in
The ones my ancestors were born to
I am grateful for the people I love
And those who love me
I am grateful for the sorrow and the joy
The laughter and the tears
The mother who is no longer here
The partner who is always there
The daughter who has made my life worth living long ago
All the animal beings who have passed through my world, offering their presence
The ones who are here now in this present moment
I am grateful for what the present moment brings
And so much more...


I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving however you are giving thanks this year.  Wishing all a beautiful Native American Heritage Day honoring the people of this land.

This Wednesday, let’s dance with gratitude.

With love,

Sylvie and the SDP Team

ABOUT SYLVIE MINOT'S 5RHYTHMS CLASS

5Rhythms Sylvie Minot

5Rhythms is a simple movement practice designed to release the dancer that lives in every body regardless of shape, size, age, or experience. While the dance itself is simple, it has the power to catalyze deep healing and creative expression.

The primary teaching of this work is: If you put your psyche in motion, it will heal itself.

The five rhythms are Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness. They come together to create a wave.

There are no dance steps to follow. Each rhythm has a different energy and tempo in which you tap into the wisdom of your body, bring awareness to the patterns in yourself and your life, and find your individual expression.

In Sylvie Minot’s weekly online 5Rhythms class, you will be led on a journey of self-discovery as we come together in community. The class is made up of two waves. The first wave is your time to arrive, let go of your day and settle into your body. During the second wave, we dance more deeply and explore a specific theme.

Any level of fitness, agility and ages are invited to participate. All are welcome and no prior dance training or ability is required.

Please note -- for the virtual 5Rhythms class, you don't have to connect via video--you can choose to call in or join by audio only and listen to the class through a headset. Some dancers enjoy going for a walk outdoors while they move to the music.
