Embodiment
& belonging
unfold through
movement & dance.

Dance, as a pathway to EMBODIMENT and BELONGING, is rooted in free-form movement:
offering permission to be spontaneous, instinctive, responsive, creative, and uniquely expressive.

A space for you to do your dance as only you can. 

More than just physical exercise or entertainment, dance can be a therapeutic movement meditation
—a practice of self-expression that deepens presence and connection.

It is a practice that combines elements of movement, exploration, mindfulness, creativity, and
personal & group inquiry to nurture physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.

The intention is to explore and connect with what is real and alive in the body through our own movements and expressions.
There is no getting it wrong or right as there are no steps to follow.
Can be done in a group setting or alone, online, indoors or outdoors.

Dancing can be a creative outlet,
a cathartic & therapeutic space where connection is fostered
​with self, other, community, and the mystery. 
​
Participants are invited to notice, listen and follow their own response to the music,
while tuning into ​the group body and to the guidance of the facilitator. ​

Dancing freely, within a supportive space, can provide participants with insight.
Through movement, what resides within us is given the freedom to be seen, explored, and expressed.

We explore working on the self through the body, as a means of self care, community building and to know how to be in service.

All are welcome to join, regardless of physical ability, age or experience. 
The range of music is eclectic, curated sets, that are somatically based.

"Dancing the 5Rhythms is a practice—a dynamic way to both workout and to meditate in the same breath. They teach us that life is energy in motion, freeing us from any fixed notions about people, places, objects or ideas."

-Gabrielle Roth, Creator of the 5Rhythms

    5Rhythms

    5Rhythms is a movement meditation practice created by Gabrielle Roth in the late 1970s. It is a dynamic and improvisational approach to dance and movement that is designed to help individuals explore and express themselves through movement.

    The practice is based on the idea that there are five primary rhythms or energies that underlie all human emotions and movement. Practitioners of 5Rhythms use these five rhythms as a framework for exploring and expressing their emotions, thoughts, and inner experiences through movement. The practice is often done in a group setting with music, and participants are encouraged to let go of self-judgment and allow their bodies to move intuitively in response to the music and the rhythms.

    5Rhythms is not a performance-based dance, and there are no specific steps or choreography to follow. It's about personal exploration, self-discovery, and self-expression through movement.

    The practice is open to people of all ages and physical abilities and can be a powerful tool for personal growth, stress relief, and creative expression.

    Dance Your Ability

    Dance Your Ability Therapeutic Movement Foundation, founded by Shauna Devlin, stands for the rights of all to have access to collective joy, a sense of belonging in community, self-expression, kindness and the healing that comes from movement & music. We believe that one of the best ways to provide this is through dance. We aim to continue to train people who are passionate about the benefits of dance and the joy of service, so that they may offer classes for people of all walks of life to experience themselves in freedom & joy no matter their circumstances. 


    Our vision is a world where everyone has access to experience joy and freedom in their bodies with their own unique dance, while being a part of the group: unique & unified. We aim to provide outreach movement & dance programs for all abilities & ages, creating spaces where everyone is free to dance their dance and experience feeling unified with the group.
