Saturday Night Sweat – Forest Row

Saturday Night Sweat is a guided 5Rhythms Wave, beginners and experienced movers welcome alike. This group has been dancing together for many years

We follow the 5Rhythms map: Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness. It follows an arc of energy, the beginning and end are soft and slow, and the middle is fast and wild. At the end people often feel transformed. The intention is to allow our moods, textures, flavours to be part of the dance, so we’re not trying to ‘get rid’ or ‘improve’ but instead allow ourselves to be exactly as we are. Our defences have been allowed to soften, our hearts and souls have been tended to. It is connecting and builds strong community bonds, “people who dance together stay together” – not sure who said that but it’s very true.

The class is led by Sarah Davies who was trained to teach 5Rhythms in 2008 by the founder Gabrielle Roth. For more about Sarah Davies see her website.

Please bring your own water to drink to reduce sharing the water fountains
