What are the 5Rhythms™?
The 5Rhythms™ comprise a simple movement practice designed to release the dancer that lives in everybody, whatever age, limitations or experience. The 5Rhythms invites each of us to deepen our self awareness as we pay attention to our bodies in motion. Rather than having steps to follow, the 5Rhythms offers a different path in which you find your own expression and choreography, thereby stretching your imagination as well as your body.
Led by Ted Morris Dawson
Ted has been dancing the 5Rhythms™ since 1996 and is an accredited 5Rhythms™ dance teacher having successfully completed Gabrielle Roth’s teacher training program. He has a background in performance and theatre and was a professional actor and playwright for ten years before training as a Shiatsu practitioner.
