The 5Rhythms is a moving meditation developed by Gabrielle Roth. Each rhythm talks to a different aspect in us and has its own movement language. Anyone, regardless of age or physical condition, can dance the 5Rhythms. You only need a body that breathes, a heart that beats and a willingness to be curious.

The five rhythms are flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness. Each rhythm follows the movement of our energy. In the flowing rhythm we make our bodies receptive. The dance is fluid  and continuous. In staccato we move into clear shapes. This rhythm is about heartful communication. In the chaos let go of control without losing balance. This creates space and new opportunities in the fourth lyrical rhythm. Finally in stillness we move without moving, a meditation in dance. Together these 5 rhythms form a wave; a wave of energy.

Léon is a 5Rhythms teacher and is trained by Gabrielle Roth. Léon works closely together with 5Rhythms teachers: Mirjam van Hasselt and Marc Lendfers.

Contact Improvisatie and Instant Composition are important inspirations along side  the 5Rhythms. Among others Léon studied with: Julyen Hamilton, Suprapto (Prapto) Suryodarmo, Karen Nelson and others.
