Open Floor

Open Floor supports resilience, compassion, and joyous connection with others. We teach dance and mindful movement for personal healing, professional growth, and community building. As a non-profit we use Dynamic Governance system of organisation, also called Sociocracy. I’m on the EU training faculty, training others to become Open Floor teachers. 

5 Rhythms

In 2008 I trained with Gabrielle Roth to teach 5Rhythms, and have been teaching since. 5Rhythms roots are shamanistic, ecstatic, and Gestalt therapy, drawing on a wide range of eastern philosophy. The five rhythms are Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness. When danced in sequence this forms a ‘Wave’, the basis of this modality. 

ICMTA

I’m a member of the International Conscious Movement Teachers Association. Created in 2013, it’s an independent not-for-profit professional association supporting and representing teachers of dance meditation and conscious movement. Its members are dedicated to serving people in being more fully alive, creative, original and authentic in their self-expression, primarily through using the medium of the body-in-motion.

While the founding members of the ICMTA are teachers of the 5Rhythms®, trained and certified by Gabrielle Roth, the ICMTA anticipates that its membership will eventually expand to embrace and welcome teachers of other conscious dance and movement modalities.
