• ​It's summer and that time of year where Sylvie Minot and Syzygy Dance Project take a mini-break to focus on our plans for the fall and winter months.

​

• From June 17 - September 21, 2021, there will be NO WEDNESDAY EVENING 5Rhythms and Beyond virtual classes. 

​

• ​For those patrons who participate in the SDP monthly membership program, be sure to visit the Syzygy Dance Project audio and video upload pages. We regularly add new audio and video files as they become available.

​

• Although we may seem out of sight over the Summer, we will continue to deliver our weekly newsletter. Please watch this spot for any surprise pop-up in-person or virtual Sweat Your Prayers dances Sylvie may offer over the summer (like the one this Saturday!). SDP monthly members have free access to summer pop-up events, and discounts on any summer workshops.

ABOUT SYLVIE MINOT'S SWEAT YOUR PRAYERS CLASS

Sweat Your Prayers® is A 5Rhythms® movement meditation practice where you move through all the five rhythms of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness with breath and intention. This class is self-guided where there is no verbal movement instruction. 

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.

Classes feature DJ music that is facilitated by the teacher, Sylvie Minot. There are no dance steps to follow, but you are guided in breath and movement by your own awareness of what your body, mind and soul needs. Each rhythm has its own energy and tempo in which you tap into the wisdom of your body, bringing awareness to the patterns in yourself and your life, and find your individual expression. 

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 ZOOM 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.
