Classes are taught by Gay Murphy, accredited as a teacher by the Moving Center USA in 2001.
“Who am I? A 65 year old grandmother who first found 5Rhythms® sixteen years ago. I
immediately fell in love with this practice; it was as if my three year old self was
reborn and with her this ability to move and dance from within. Long years of being
physically tied up in knots, awkward and shy fell away as I gradually let go of the
inhibitions and literally “loosened up” in all manner of ways.”
“For a year I danced secretly to the one tape I had of Gabrielle Roth's music and then
one day I saw a poster for a Gabrielle Roth workshop in London. The rest is history —
long hours of practice, workshops, becoming more visible, letting go, finding the hidden
self, trainin to teach this work and a long apprenticeship finding my feet in that role.
And my personal journey goes on supported by this movement practice with its' simple
structure.”
“In my classes I try to look for simplicity as in not too much teaching; respect for each
student who shows up and lets themselves be moved; courage for myself to let go and adapt my
planned teaching at any time to what is going on in the room; and the confidence to listen to
my instincts and to act on them. Surrounding and supporting my teaching is my passionate
enthusiasm for this practice and how it touches my heart every time I teach and witness what
happens on the dance floor.”
