This practice itself is simple, there are no steps to follow. We dance not for a mastery of the practice, but for its medicine. About Portal This class is designed to allow dancers experienced with the 5Rhythms to practice on their own, with limited guidance. Unlike regular classes, this event may or may not have a demonstration of the 5Rhythms -- rather the event is likely to flow from one Wave to the next from Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness back to Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness. Stillness, the Portal to what is in the mystery. Join us Dancers who are first timers to a 5Rhythms event, and comfortable following their inner guidance in movement, are welcome with the understanding that the class will have little if any instruction. Dancers who prefer instruction, please sign up for one of our regular classes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A word about touch, courtesy & consent By participating in this class you agree to be a partner in co-creating a safe and brave space for our collective dance practice. Since this dance practice is non-verbal, please make eye contact with other dancers before touch. Even if it’s your best friend or partner, on the dance floor we honor sovereignty. Someone may be having a deep experience, some dancers dance with eyes closed or half mast and touch could be disruptive or dis-regulating. On the dance floor, please use your eyes as a means for engagement. After eye contact, if you are not open to touch, please say or signal to your partner that you are not a yes to physical contact (ie; offering a Namaste ?? or arms crossed or by walking away). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Welcome Statement We recognize and welcome all. All races, all religions, all gender identities, all sexual orientations, all abilities, all shapes and sizes, all languages, all ages. This dance practice can bring dancers into a deeply meditative space. As such, all children under 18 years of age must be under the care of an adult throughout the class, to maintain safety in the room for dancers of all ages. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Land Acknowledgement This is land belonging to the Nipmuc, Pocumtuc, Nonotuc people. The Native American settlement at what is now Northampton was called Norwottuck, or Nonotuck, meaning: "the midst of the river." It consisted of a core area where clan meetings and elders' councils were held. This area included communal cemeteries and probably sweat lodges used for curing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dance Space Etiquette We come together to practice 5Rhythms. We are drug- and alcohol-free. We are adults responsible for our own wellbeing. We are aware of and respect each others’ bodies and boundaries. We communicate using movement not words. We use our words if necessary to express our boundaries We make eye contact and gain consent before any physical touch We dance barefoot, in grippy socks or soft dance shoes. We avoid synthetic perfumes. We turn our phones off. We do not take photos/video or use Shazam. We participate, we do not spectate. We start and end our dance journey together. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/northampton/5rhythms-dance-afternoon-portal-karuna-yoga/200029661526326 - **Event Categories**: workshops, health-wellness, sports, meetups, art, yoga - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 6 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: http://facebook.com/200029661526326?utm_source=AllEvents.in&utm_medium=event-discovery-platform&utm_campaign=northampton-events ## Event venue details - **city**: Northampton - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: Karuna Center for Yoga & Healing Arts - **lat**: 42.32026 - **long**: -72.62914 - **full address**: Karuna Center for Yoga & Healing Arts, 21 Main St, Northampton, MA 01060-1469, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 2 - **organizer**: 5Rhythms in the Valley (https://allevents.in/org/5rhythms-in-the-valley/24118026) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/e9310e9efee0083264dc3ba46eaf2bafadffc497ad8e9231dc76cac465160e20-rimg-w940-h788-dc030202-gmir?v=1772359464 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/c8695408a0f82e48dd55a002da29c594cb9bab87c9ef8ac118c40f85f39a843a-rimg-w300-h300-dc030202-gmir?v=1772359464 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 02:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Karuna Center for Yoga & Healing Arts, 21 Main St, Northampton, MA 01060-1469, United States - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** 5Rhythms in the Valley - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** workshops, health-wellness, sports, meetups, art, yoga - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about 5Rhythms® Dance - Afternoon Portal @ Karuna Yoga ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "5Rhythms® Dance - Afternoon Portal @ Karuna Yoga", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/e9310e9efee0083264dc3ba46eaf2bafadffc497ad8e9231dc76cac465160e20-rimg-w940-h788-dc030202-gmir?v=1772359464", "startDate": "2026-03-07", "endDate": "2026-03-07", "url": "https://allevents.in/northampton/5rhythms-dance-afternoon-portal-karuna-yoga/200029661526326", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Karuna Center for Yoga & Healing Arts", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "21 Main St, Northampton, MA 01060-1469, United States", "addressLocality": "Northampton", "addressRegion": "MA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "42.32026", "longitude": "-72.62914" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Karuna Center for Yoga & Healing Arts\n25 Main Street, Northampton MA, 3rd floor\n2 pm -4 pm\ndoors close at 2:30 pm\n\nPortal: Two Waves: No Breaks\nled by Jilsarah \n\nPlease time for street parking\nOr, there is a parking garage and a parking lot\nabout a 5 minute walk away\ntake stairs or elevator to", "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "5Rhythms in the Valley", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/5rhythms-in-the-valley/24118026" } ] } ] ```
