Dance at Home
Put on your favorite tunes and dance while you do housework, dance with the people you love, dance for the pure joy of connecting with your body in motion.
Why dance at home?
Establish your personal practice. Come to class to be guided into dancing 5Rhythms as a meditative practice. At home, learn to trust and be inspired by your inner teacher.
- Connect with yourself. It is possible to remain in your interior world in class, but for most, connection is one of the reasons we come. At home you can spend some uninterrupted time exploring and solidifying your relationship with yourself. Learn to love the dance you do when you are alone.
- Get a great cardiovascular workout. Step up the pace and feel a great alternative to standard activities like running, brisk walking, stair climbers and treadmills, swimming. Dancing at home is convenient and motivationally joyful.
- Build your strength and flexibility. Some of the breath techniques you learn in the practice create the opportunity for a great core workout while you dance. The non-linear nature of dance gets you moving in many planes. Dance builds your strength, reflexes, balance and flexibility in new ways.
- Stay loose. Use the foam roller and pokey ball to loosen up and then cool down with your favorite stretches.
- Get still. The internal focus available in your dance at home will support you in building some meditative quiet into your day.
