WAVE UPON WAVE ~ a 5Rhythms® movement workshop in Victoria BC

"I know that if a wave of energy is allowed to complete itself, it yields a whole new wave, and in fact that is all I really know." ~ Gabrielle Roth

This is a weekend to immerse in the physicality of our movement practice ~ exploring the qualities, embodiment, and gifts of each rhythm as it carries us through a Wave.

COMMUNITY CARE: Any dancers experiencing cold/flu symptoms are expected to stay home to care for themselves and for the rest of the group. We will review our communicable disease mitigation policies one month prior to the workshop and will communicate any changes to all registered participants. At this point, we expect all participants to rapid test prior to attending.

ACCESSIBILITY: the hall has one flight of stairs (or email in advance if you need to access a lift), and one gender-neutral washroom.

*Tiered pricing is available so that folks with plenty can share, and folks who need support can receive it. When you include a Scholarship donation, a portion of your fee is applied toward another dancer's reduced-rate spot. If you are called to participate in this workshop and these prices are a barrier for you, please email [email protected] for a possible partial scholarship or work trade.

Joanne teaches 5Rhythms with a deep respect for the transformational nature of this practice, for the insight that these maps can bring to our daily lives, and for the unique discovery process of each participant. Her teaching is rooted in a lifelong engagement with her own study and personal work. Since 2001, she has held a steady space for the growth and evolution of a robust dance community in Victoria BC, has supported students and colleagues with their own teaching path, and has shared her love of this practice with communities in Canada, the US, and Europe.
