Dance. I invite you to
release your body, free
your mind & unleash
your potential.

“What I love about Stuart’s classes is how he is able to hold the whole range of states and feelings, whether you come to dance with self-consciousness, stuckness, numbness, ecstasy, excitement, whether your energy is high or low, all feels welcomed and his timely, intuitive guidance is offered to bring wherever you are into the dance. There’s a freedom in such acceptance and letting go and expression through movement which feels possible because of the safe, judgement-free space that Stuart cultivates.”

“No experience or dance skill required, only a willingness to move through the music. You choose your own level of participation in a respectful and welcoming community.”

“As a teacher, Stuart has a real gift for reading the mood of the room and collaborating so that our dance within his teaching and music, and with each other, becomes an amazing conversation that also enables a conversation with our selves, with our bodies. These classes take us on a unique journey ..where all are welcome to the dance floor and where ‘the only way is through’ and where our dance is our medicine.”

“Stuart taught me what 5R is about…he went through the basics and suddenly, everything made a lot more sense. His teaching had a big impact.. Although it took me a while to really understand the power of this practice, during Stu’s classes is when I learned the meaning of each rhythm and how to express my feelings through my body depending on the rhythm. It is something difficult to express with words but so powerful and beautiful that I would recommend it to everyone.
Also, an important point to add – the music he plays is awesome so you always have a great time on the dance floor!!”

“I always feel like I can be myself in Stuart’s classes… In the space he creates there’s no judgement of myself or others and this allows truly magical things to happen. I always leave feeling more connected with myself, others and the world. You don’t have to know how to do anything or pretend to be anyone. Just show up, move how you feel and open your heart.”

“The way Stuart holds space with skill and empathy, allows the group to be present with what is, encouraging each of us to search deeper, to inquire and welcome all that we find in the process and express it, to really go through this alchemical transformation and land into a more coherent state, feeling grounded, healed, renewed, alive.”

“When I first started dancing 5Rhythms® it helped me through a time of extreme personal transition and change. It literally helped me to feel again. Then it helped me to express what I feel through movement, bypassing the limited left brain way of processing. Now I’ve healed a lot, 5Rhythms® continues to help me with whatever is currently happening in my life. It’s a place to express joy, sadness, anger, excitement. It’s a place to deeply connect with others in a safe and sacred space. Stuart’s classes always fill me with deep joy and peace. I know that I can dance with whatever I’m feeling and that I will be safely held and witnessed. Stuart is always completely non-judgemental and offers a deeply welcoming, loving and beautiful space to dance in.”
