Mountain View Open Floor

Awesome — gets me out of my head and into my body.

Depression, anxiety, problems with self-​image or self-​perception? Come once a week to the 5 rhythms dance in Mountain View, and you will get the most effective, affordable, and positive therapy, you can just imagine. You do not dance? Not a problem, since it is as much as dance as moving meditation. You do what you want, you do what you can, you let your body take over your mind and follow the rhythm.
There is one drawback, however. That is really addictive. So, be aware.
And, no, that is not for everyone, but give yourself a chance, come with open mind and hope for the best.

I so love this dance group and teacher. I have rarely been able to make Monday evenings in the past, but I just found the ability to go on a hopefully regular basis.
The people here are adorable. Since I don’t go often, I only know a few from other dance venues in the Bay Area. Every time I dance here, I’m amazed, get a great work out, and have a wonderful, fun time.
Conscious dance in one its finest forms in the Bay Area.

Extraordinary place, people, process. Come to heal, release, connect, live! I knew that dance was good for the soul, but this takes it to the next level :-).

From the Web site: In moving your body through the 5Rhythms® you have the potential to connect to your innermost self. If you’re willing to surrender to the movement and the moment, this practice will have a profound effect on how you move your body, feel in your own skin and relate to yourself and others. Movement as a spiritual practice is a path to presence — losing the dancer and becoming the dance.:
Claire Alexander is the teacher for this amazing group of people who have been dancing together for over ten years. Deep integrity and wonderful community are hallmarks of this dance gathering that is unlike any other group that I’ve danced with in the bay area (and I’ve dance with quite a few). Their weekly dance is every Monday night, and whether someone is looking for a moving meditation or a good work-​out, you can find it here.
