5Rhythms: We are the Beloved Community

​
Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, 

Nonviolence is an absolute commitment to the way of love. Love is not emotional bash; it is not empty sentimentalism. It is the active outpouring of one's whole being into the being of another.

---

Martin Luther King Jr.'s main message was that power must be grounded in love, and love is power. And while he may have been preaching love and forgiveness, he still expected justice and change. 

During the week honoring MLK Jr, Syzygy Dance Project will welcome the first virtual movement class of 2021 on the same evening as the inauguration of a new U.S. President. 

My heart has been touched by MLK Jr. and President Biden, so I invite you to dance with active love, the love that is 'the active outpouring of one's whole being into the being of another.'

As you move forward in this new year, in a new era, do it with active love, with resilience, and empower others with heart.

If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way. - Martin Luther King, Jr.

With love,

Sylvie and the SDP Team

ABOUT SYLVIE MINOT'S 5RHYTHMS CLASS

​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.
