Are you ready to take your dance to the next level?
After many requests to dance more often, we’re opening a new offering: Ecstatic Masterclass: a 2-hour immersive dive into movement, presence, and embodied expression. This is not just another dance. It’s a smaller more intentional container, with more space to dance, to play, and go deeper.
This masterclass is a focused, DJ-led journey (no cacao or live music) designed for exploration, play and full-bodied magic...
1 hour fully guided + 1 hour free flow held by powerful DJ & experienced 5Rhythms teacher Tim Barnes.
Expect juicy rhythms, playful prompts, fresh movement pathways, moments of flow, and plenty of space to unleash your creativity and explore new edges!
Beginners welcome.
Same magical venue.
Same 2-hour journey.
Same high vibe container.
Same accessible prices as our regular dance.
We can't wait to welcome you in this new experience!

Ecstatic Masterclass w/ Tim Barnes
7pm - 9pm
You are invited to this safe, playful space, where the whole of you is welcomed. In this session, you will gently be guided to breathe, let go of stress, recharge and move as you feel. Dancing and cultivating authentic movement from the inside is deeply nurturing and healing. Be prepared to deeply connect with the elements, move, sweat, experience and enjoy!
🌊 Unlike clubbing, ecstatic dance sets are built like "waves" moving from slow and mellow, to very dynamic and everything else in between; gently guiding you to stretch your body and mind in many directions, to experience the vast spectrum of your emotions with mindfulness and wild abandon. Most of the time when people dance it is to look good to others, but here, we dance to connect with our authentic natural selves.
Social Time
9-10pm
After the dance, there will be a time for us to just be together a little longer in the lounge by the fire. Bring your food, make yourself a cup of tea, its our social community time!

➤ TIM BARNES
Excited to welcome back talented 5RHYTHMS teacher and DJ Tim Barnes to lead this 5rhythms masterclass... In his own words: " I came to the practice in 2012, and after years of travelling, years of uprooting, years of trying to find myself, the rhythms are what really offer me a place of stability and excitement in equal measure. A structure to be unstructured. I believe our bodies are bodies of wisdom, and when we use them as such we can transform and transcend."
Tim Barnes sees dance as a practice, embodiment as its vocabulary. As a certified 5Rhythms teacher, he teaches classes and workshops regularly in the UK as well as internationally. By holding space lightly, he hands the reins of the dance over to you, guiding you through waves of music that approach the body as a body of wisdom. Come let it in, let it out and let it go.
His enjoys playing everything from deep juicy afrobeat to high flying orchestral remix’s. 5R facilitators aren’t always DJs but Tim is! So expect another smoothly crafted soundscape to drop in to.
The 5Rhythms practice kicked off what has come to be known as the conscious dance scene. One woman, dancing around a fire under an open starlit sky and beginning to notice the rhythms of life. She was Gabrielle Roth and it developed into a practice that now has roots across the world.
It uses dance and movement as it’s medium to explore the cycles of the human experience. A dance beyond a dance. In class we dance a ‘wave’ of music that explores these rhythms of flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness.
So come let your body take you on a journey!
