We gather two Saturdays per month, for an evening of music, movement, embodied ceremony, and community connection.Danced by tens of thousands worldwide, 5Rhythms is a dynamic freestyle movement practice. Dancing Wave upon Wave of the 5Rhythms, we practice the art of being fully alive in the present moment, to all that moves through us. Come dive into your own deep dance, with a circle of other dancing seekers of the sacred. Come reSource, come release, come ride the Wave!

COVID PROTOCOLS
This indoor class is open to all dancers regardless of Covid vaccination status, provided all participants agree to observe the protocols below.
As of March 1, Ontario no longer has indoor gathering limits. We will be increasing our capacity limits more gradually this Spring, and as such, May Deep Waves classes will remain capped at 40 maximum (45% of the room's capacity). Registration will be open until 11am on the day of the class or until we reach capacity, at which point a wait list will be started.
Capacity: 40 people max in the room (including teacher and crew)
Masks at all times
Windows open in the studio
Contact tracing (name and phone number of every participant)
Outside doors get locked after all participants are in the building
Rapid antigen testing at the door
Rapid antigen tests will be provided to you at the door when you arrive. You will be instructed how to self-administer the test by swabbing your cheeks, throat, and nostrils. Test results are available in 15 minutes. (Perhaps a pre-dance quiet meditation time as we wait for our results? : )
Please arrive between 7-7:20pm to do your antigen test before class.
While no layer of protection is perfect, the above measures work better together than they do alone. If you choose to attend this indoor class, you acknowledge that though we are taking precautions, there is still a risk of contracting Covid as a result of attending, and you are assuming full responsibility for your choice to attend, and any illnesses or injuries that may result.
*As the pandemic continues to improve in Ontario we anticipate dropping antigen testing and mandatory masking from our protocols.
