Gabrielle Roth (February 4, 1941 – October 22, 2012) was an American dancer and musician in the world music and trance dance genres, with a special interest in shamanism. She created the 5Rhythms approach to movement in the late 1970s; there are now hundreds of 5Rhythms teachers worldwide who use her approach in their work.
She also founded an experimental theatre company in New York, and wrote three books, created over twenty albums of trance dance music with her band The Mirrors, and directed or has been the subject of ten videos. |
"The 5Rhythms are a map to everywhere we want to go
inner, outer, forward, back, physical, emotional, intellectual
they reconnect us to the wisdom of our bodies
and unleash movement’s dynamic healing power."

"One day the drums were calling to me and I began to dance, accessing different states of consciousness through the dance. That is when I began finding the maps. When you want to go inside to the essence, to the core of it all, you have to have a map, so I began my career as a map maker. This is how the 5 Rhythms came and all the maps that followed. It was a hologram, a medicine wheel, a map to how the psyche is formed, wounded and healed. It came out of - and I consider it to be - the essential Feminine Spiritual path which comes from the body. I was the captive audience, I named and articulated them, but the rhythms were there. They were in orgasm, child birth, places, people - in everything you've ever done. The first rhythm Flow is the feminine, the idea that you are the receiver, the receptor, letting it all in. Then we move to the Staccato period when you define what you are experiencing and what you want to express. This takes us into the real heart and passion of the creation and there is a dynamic that happens between the feminine and masculine - between the body and the heart that takes over and we've entered the Chaos realm. This is like a seed that is created and becomes its own dynamic entity and we learn to serve it. If we are able to go into this unknown place with our creation, then we have entered the realm of the intuitive artist. Out of that comes the fourth rhythm of Lyrical - a place of trance, of no ego - an energy of letting our creation be what it wants to be an now we are being.Then we move into Stillness which has its own energy and we have become detached from whatever it is we've been a channel for. This is the DNA of the creative process which I fell upon, a continuous process that is recreating itself through movement. It is a map about energy which is never fixed and always in flux."
"The fastest way to still the mind is to move the body."
"5Rhythms transcends dance -
movement is the medicine, the meditation and the metaphor.
Together we peel back layers, lay our masks down,
and dance till we disappear.»
