​The vernal equinox arrives on the evening of March 19, 2024. It marks the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, symbolizing a time of renewal, growth, and rebirth. 

It's a period when nature awakens from its winter slumber, and life begins anew. It is a time for personal transformation, shedding old habits or beliefs, and embracing new beginnings.

I want to celebrate the spring equinox with a pop-up in-person 5Rhythms dance at the Almonte District Improvement Clubhouse in Mill Valley, California. There is a perfect balance between night and day on the Equinox--a time before the daylight grows longer as the Earth's tilt shifts back towards the sun in the Northern Hemisphere.

We'll dance to this period of renewal, purification, and new beginnings.

Love, Sylvie

The 5Rhythms™ is a simple movement practice designed to release the dancer that lives in every physical body, regardless of shape, size, age, or experience.

While the practice 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 steps to follow. Each rhythm has a different energy and tempo in which we tap into the wisdom of our bodies, bring awareness to the patterns in ourselves and our lives, and find our own individual expressions.

Beginners are always welcome. No dance experience is needed--just the willingness to move where the music takes you.
