SYZYGY DANCE PROJECT 5RHYTHMS CLASSES
We want to meet you on the dance floor – no matter your fitness level, age, size, or amount of experience!
5Rhythms Sweat Your PrayersJoin a 5Rhythms Sweat Your Prayers® class with Syzygy Dance Project founder Sylvie Minot, where you can be led on a journey of self-discovery as participants come together in community. The class is divided into two waves. The first wave is your time to arrive, let go, and settle into your body. During the second wave, we dance more deeply and explore a specific theme. 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 distinct energy and tempo, allowing us to tap into the wisdom of our bodies, bring awareness to the patterns within ourselves and our lives, and find our expression. Sweat Your Prayers™ is done with minimal guidance or silence. The class is meant as a moving meditation. 5Rhythms Sweat Your Prayers with Sylvie Minot SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2025 10:30 am - 12:00 pm Bridge Arts and Events 23 Maine Ave, Richmond, CA 94804 *SLIDING SCALE DONATION: $20.00 /$25.00 /$30.00 *Monthly SDP Patron Members are free to attend, but must notify their interest at least 24 hrs before the class.

“Sylvie's classes are a wonderful dance experience, integrating movement, fun, self-expression and deep connection (if you wish to) with others in a language we forget to use - physical movement/dance. You definitely don't have to be a good dancer to do this; it's a safe, total acceptance environment. I've been going religiously for 5 years. Sometimes it's the highlight of my week!" |
“To sweat is to pray, to make an offering of your innermost self. Sweat is holy water, prayer beads, pearls of liquid that release your past. Sweat is an ancient and universal form of self healing, whether done in the gym, the sauna, or the sweat lodge. I do it on the dance floor. The more you dance, the more you sweat. The more you sweat, the more you pray. The more you pray, the closer you come to ecstasy.”
— Gabrielle Roth
