The Let Go
Friday Night Let Go
Let go of the week and welcome the weekend. Join Ann every Friday at 8pm for a high-energy and deeply-embodied release.
Ann will be away on October 24th. Join Anand for a dynamic and cathartic Friday night Let Go. This will not be a 5Rhythms class, but it will be a high energy and high embodiment dance. Ann will return October 31st.

What to bring & wear?
These are movement events above all else, so do expect to move. You may be rolling around on the floor – dress accordingly. Yoga or exercise clothes work great. Bring an extra layer for when things quiet down. Most people dance in bare feet; soft-soled dance shoes or dance paws are recommended if you need foot protection. Dance sneakers are permitted. Other shoes are not allowed on the dance floor. Dance in stocking feet at your own risk! Socks tend to slip on the hardwood floor and for that reason are not considered safe. There are changing rooms if you need them.
On Fridays after dancing, we have snacks and socializing.

Suggestions for your first dance
Wear clothes that let you move freely, and have layers so you can adjust for more or less active movement. Bring water: don’t let yourself dehydrate.
Dance barefoot or in soft-soled dance shoes only, beware of slippery socks.
Go at your own pace. Be responsible for your own body (stay aware of injuries & limitations). Keep your eyes open to stay aware of others.
Don’t distract yourself or others with talk.
Bring along some curiosity about yourself & others too! Move how you feel - and stay open to changing.
Know that everything that is alive has its dance, and your only task is to find & express yours.
Enjoy yourself! (Excessive seriousness may slow you down).
Ticket Sales, Transfer, and Refund Policy
Tickets will be sold online and at the door while supplies last. Tickets are transferrable to another person; please email us if you want to transfer your ticket to another person.
We will refund online purchases, minus a $5 fee per ticket, until 24 hours before class. No refunds will be issued within 24 hours of the class.
What happens on the dance-floor?
We were all beginners once, so be welcome!
Usually (though not always) there is a warm-up with music. Use this arrival time for yourself, to stretch, move, and let the journey to the dance space drop away. We all use this time differently, depending on what we need. It really helps if people don’t chat – it can distract others from sinking into their practice – and you into yours. If you come late don’t be surprised if you find it harder to really drop in to your dance.
The teacher, Ann, will be leading the class and following the group energy. Because we show up to class feeling different every time, each class experience will be different. You’ll probably be dancing on your own sometimes, and sometimes with a partner or a group. There will be a wide range of music and maybe periods of silence too.
Each class is a complete process. Your presence helps make it happen! Please honor yourself and others by arriving on time and staying through till the end. (If you know you have to leave early for some reason, please tell the teacher beforehand).
