Our bodies carry wisdom that goes far beyond our thinking mind and the practice of 5Rhythms can help us to get in touch with that innate embodied intelligence.

Julia Mercurio, on 5Rhythms

 

5Rhythms with Julia Merucrio


We have the pleasure of welcoming in special guest, Julia Mercurio, who will infuse our dance space with her love of dance and its potent medicine.

Julia will guide us into the wisdom our bodies carry far beyond our thinking mind using the 5Rhythms framework, to get in touch with that innate embodied intelligence.

Come and let your body move as we welcome in this wonderful being onto our dance floor to inspire and move us.

About Julia Mercurio

JULIA MERCURIO is a certified 5Rhythms teacher with 15 years of dancing experience. She has trained with Gabriel Roth’s 5Rhythms Global in New York. Her work is infused with her love for soulful music, her experience of being a woman in this world, years of bodywork and somatic practice, as well as an animist worldview. A core theme of her teaching is how to fall in love with ourselves and the world through embodiment as a natural source of healing. 

For you

Perhaps you want to release tension from daily life and connect with your body? Or, you really love good music and want to dance outside the club space? Or, you’re curious to find greater freedom in your body …

Maybe you’ve danced 1000 times, or never before. Wherever, however, come as you are and give yourself the permission to dance, to be curious and to meet yourself in ways you might never have imagined.

5Rhythms dance is an open and non-judgemental space that invites you to come exactly as you are.  No previous dance or other experience required.

Flow

Doors open at 19.15 and close promptly at 19.45. Please note entry after 19.45 isn’t possible.

  • Welcome + Introduction: After a guided warm-up through the body, we’ll have a general welcome and introduction to the theme for the evening before we go into the dance.
  • Dance + Music: Let go of any preconceived notions you might have about dance. Unlike anything you’ve experienced before, there is no choreography or special moves in this space. The music is played in a form of a wave where the rhythms will rise to a crescendo and then gently fall – and you’ll get to discover how it feels to move to those beats, moment by moment. During the dance, you’ll be guided with some words of inspiration and invitations (never instructions) to enhance your experience.
  • Gathering after class: Once the official dance is over, we open the space for all who want to stay and connect. There will be snacks, opportunities for exchange and spaces for quiet reflections, too. 
  • No phones: To allow for greatest spontaneity, creativity and freedom of expression, no phones on the dance floor.

FAQ’s

5Rhythms brings a beautiful framework to the world to the conscious dance space. It is a practice developed by Gabrielle Roth who identified that life moves in different energies. The more we experience being in these different energies, the more prepared we are for life.

I am a certified 5Rhythms® teacher and use the 5Rhythms framework as a gentle guideline for the music I play. At x-dance, we begin the evening with a 5Rhythms Wave. 

You may find a video here which provides some information about the five rhythms – Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, Stillness.

You may read more about 5Rhythms here. There is also one article available about 5Rhythmen auf Deutsch here.

Samar Linn’s music style is eclectic, edgy; an invitation to express yourself in all shades and flavors. The music is a backdrop and support as you discover, express and let go into your own spontaneous and free dance.

Our bodies are always 100% present no matter where our thoughts might be. So when we dance and bring attention to our physical bodies, we teach our minds to be present with the body in that exact moment.

Meditation is when we develop ways to bring our attention and awareness into focus. In turn, this leads to mental calm, emotional peace and a clear state.

In this way, we use the music, our bodies and dance to quieten the thoughts and build tools that we can use in daily life.

Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable to a future date if you are unable to join

However, you may personally pass on your ticket to someone else. In this case, please let me know via an email the name of the person taking your spot.

As the nights draw in and autumn invites us to turn towards ourselves, come and gather for an evening of movement, music and connection 🖤🔥

Samhain marks a seasonal threshold, a time to honour what has been, acknowledge what is ending and make space for what is still taking shape. As the world around us slows and the trees release their leaves, we’re invited to notice what we might be ready to lay down, and what we want to carry with us into the darker months.

For this Samhain Dance, held at Chinley Community Centre, @sallyeccleston_ and I invite you to bring whatever you’re arriving with into the dance - the joy, the tiredness, the grief, the fire - and give it room to move, without needing to explain it or make it look a certain way.

Through music and movement, we’ll gather to honour the season, follow the impulses of our bodies and feel the warmth of being together as we move towards winter.

A space to honour what’s ending, listen to what’s stirring and feel the warmth of being together as we move into the darker months.

There are no steps to learn and no dance experience needed, just an invitation to follow your own rhythm, with space to pause and rest whenever you wish.

🌙 Wednesday 4th November
🕯️ 6:45 - 9pm · Chinley
✨ With @sallyeccleston_ & @samarlinn

Come as you are. Let’s meet on the dance floor. Really hope you can join us. 💞💞💞

How often does our binary thinking attach to giving OR receiving? That both-and don`t or can`t happen?

The dance inevitably shatters any of my either-or illusions.

When I hold space, I am deeply, and gratefully, aware that as I "give", I receive in equal measure.

Giving and Receiving:
Inspiration. Energy.
Spaciousness.
Permission. Presence.
Embodiment. Integrity.
Fullness of Being.

Dearest you in the Digital Ether, here is a 5Rhythms wave as an invitation to dance your own either-or illusions.
