We’re beginning a new 5Rhythms journey in Chester – a chance to dance, connect, and unwind at the end of the week. 5Rhythms is a moving meditation, a space to drop out of the head and into the body, to shake off the week and find your natural rhythm again.
5Rhythms is a practice of movement and presence. There are no steps to learn and no way to get it wrong. We move through five energies and Rhythms – Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness – each one a doorway into a different aspect of ourselves. Whether you’re completely new to 5Rhythms or already familiar with the map, you’re warmly welcome.
During the first five classes, as well as dancing a full Wave, we’ll take a deeper dive each month into one of the Rhythms. It’s a great way to explore the foundations of the practice and discover how each Rhythm lives in you.
To begin, classes are once a month on Fridays, carrying us through the winter and into the start of spring – a perfect way to end the year and begin 2026 with good habits, fresh energy, and clear intention.
Classes are guided by Mark Austin, an accredited 5Rhythms teacher who also teaches in Liverpool and Manchester. Together with Kirsty Jackson, we’re building a small and friendly community here in Chester – a place to dance deeply and freely in good company.
Sessions run 7–9pm at St Mary’s Handbridge Centre, Overleigh Road, Handbridge, Chester, CH4 7HL. There’s on-site parking, a good wooden floor, and plenty of space to move. Doors open from 6.45pm.
Contribution is £12 low income, £18 regular, £20 supporting. You can also book £50 for the first five classes** – a great way to commit to your practice and save a little along the way. You can pay with a card at the door (preferred), or if you’d like to pay with cash, please bring the right amount as we don’t carry change.
Upcoming Friday dates: 7 November, 19 December, 9 January, 6 February, 6 March.
Beginners and experienced dancers are welcome. 5Rhythms is a sober, barefoot practice. Please bring water, and it can be good to wear layers.
Come and dance. Come as you are. Hopefully leave a little lighter.

** Please note: the £50 booking for the first five classes is not transferable or refundable.
