WAVE AFTER WAVE
A 6-Week 5Rhythms® Somatic Dance Practice Series
Wave After Wave is a six-week 5Rhythms® practice series devoted to somatic movement, conscious dance, and embodied awareness.
5Rhythms is a form of somatic dance and movement meditation—a practice that uses rhythm, breath, and sensation to help people reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and access deeper self-awareness through movement. There is no choreography to learn and no previous dance experience required. The practice is about listening inward and allowing the body to move as it needs to.
Each class in this series holds two full waves, creating time to slow down, repeat, and deepen into the experience of embodied movement. Rather than moving quickly from theme to theme, this series emphasizes practice through repetition - allowing the body to learn, integrate, and respond over time.
Each week we will orient around one of the five rhythms—Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness - not as concepts to master, but as states of being explored through somatic movement and dance. These rhythms offer a map for embodiment, emotional expression, nervous system regulation, and creative inquiry.
This series is designed for those seeking a grounded, body-based movement practice -whether you are new to somatic dance or a long-time dancer looking to deepen your relationship with the practice. The emphasis is not on performance or aesthetic movement, but on presence, sensation, and honest expression.
Wave After Wave is a closed container.
Because somatic work and embodied practice deepen through continuity and trust, this six-week series is offered as a committed experience. There are no drop-ins or one-off classes. This structure supports nervous system safety, relational consistency, and the depth that comes from practicing together over time.
This is not about dancing better.
It is about inhabiting the body more fully.
About returning—wave after wave—to sensation, rhythm, and truth.
