Specific Populations

Using the 5 Rhythms With Specific Populations.
In general, my classes (and this website) are geared towards adults who are inspired to explore dancing as a path for joy, release, expression, and further personal/spiritual development.

However, working with the 5 Rhythms can stretch way beyond the walls of a regular dance or yoga studio.

Over the past 10 years, I have taken the 5 Rhythms into psychiatric wards on Aruba (The Caribbean), children’s refugee centers in The Netherlands, and K-8 schools in Maine; I’ve worked with seniors and teens, taught at girls’ conferences and gatherings for body-oriented psychologists, and at a school for creative therapy.

I enjoy brainstorming how I can take the endless wisdom and creativity of the 5Rhythms, and bend it, translate it, to fit the needs and realities of a specific group of people. I have yet to take this work into corporations to help teams of co-workers work together creatively and with more understanding and empathy – and I’m inspired to do so. Another population that keeps popping up on my radar is the terminally ill, in hospitals; or other groups of hospitalized patients for that matter! So if you read this and are inspired to check in with me about bringing this work into a school, a corporation, a hospital, or anywhere……get in touch!
