A time to dance…and tonight Karen is dj leading us through the rhythms....

We’ve been dancing through most of the Lock Down on the Star and Shadow radio.  But the Heaton Dance Group practicing Gabrielle Roth’s ‘5 Rhythms’ have been dancing for 30 years.  Gabrielle Roth developed the idea of dancing through stuff as an immediate body response to life. Birth death joy sadness mental and physical dead ends, whatever hits us we can dance, surrender our minds and allow our bodies to find wisdom ecstacy completion reconciliation….The body has wisdom and the ‘5 Rhythms’ wave: flowing – staccatto – chaos – lyrical – stillness – are the expressive modes through which we move.  So come on – it’s a work out at whatever level you want to pitch in: physical – emotional – spiritual – psychic: dance minus zero no limit.

But first Gordon who with his ex partner Joy, brought  '5 Rhythms' dance to Newcastle, will talk a little about the practice.
