Brighton & Hove Friday Classes
We offer regular 5Rhythms® classes in Brighton & Hove:
6.30pm-8.30pm every Friday evening at Hove Methodist Church Hall, St Patrick’s Road, BN3 5DR.
Please scroll down for a map.
Come dance with us in Hove on Friday evenings. There is no need to book: just turn up by 6.30pm and pay cash on the door. Doors open at around 6.20pm.
Let’s join together to celebrate life and our innate potential. Each Friday we move together in devotion to our inner selves, in a group practice that honours and welcomes all. A non-verbal movement practice that allows one to be more present with what is, to express through movement what needs to be expressed, to transform, and to find some form of completion in the dance.
Live Waves
On Friday 21st November, we’ll be offering our second Live Wave of 2025, with musician and dancer Bela Emerson improvising her live electric cello alongside our resident 5Rhythms teacher Paul’s rhythms and teachings to create a beautifully organic dance experience.
Paul and Bela have been collaborating in Brighton since 2023, producing Movement Playspace workshops and Live music 5Rhythms classes which have been very well received by participants.
Please see https://belaemerson.com/cello-movement/ for more information about Bela’s artistic work.
Movement Playspace
Please watch this page for announcements of future dates.
Join Paul Smith & Bela Emerson for a dynamic exploration of relationships and interactions between live music and embodied movement / dance. Informed by the 5Rhythms map, musical improvisation, and specific themes, this is an invitation to play, drop into your senses, and deepen your dance practice.
We will work with silence, with music, with movement and with stillness. The music will be responsive, spacious, and attuned to the movement - expect multilayers of cello, live loops, percussion, electronics, and more.
