A Friday Night Ritual for the Unruly Soul

Forget the bar. Forget the noise. Forget the world that tells you to shrink.

This is San Francisco—a city built on rebellion, creativity, and wild self-expression.

A place that moves with soul, where movements begin, where voices rise, where bodies remember their freedom.

This is 5Rhythms—a dance of liberation, a path to your raw, unfiltered self.
A moving meditation where sweat is holy, breath is truth, and rhythm is revolution.

No steps to follow. No right way. No wrong way.
Just you, the music, and the body’s untamed wisdom.

Here, you’ll ride the waves of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness—
shaking off the week, breaking open the body,
and releasing what no longer serves.

No pretenses. No small talk. No performance.
Just real, wild expression.

And when the energy has surged, when the storm has settled,
we land in Stillness—where breath deepens, bodies soften,
and the echo of movement lingers like a quiet prayer.

In a world that wants you numb, get alive.
In a city that moves with soul, find your release.
In a time of chaos, move like revolution.

Come as you are. Leave as more.
WILD RELEASE – Your Friday Night Rebellion.

Created by Gabrielle Roth, the 5Rhythms® is a map to everywhere we want to go, on all planes of consciousness – inner and outer, forward and back, physical, emotional and intellectual. They are markers on the way back to a real self, a vulnerable, wild, passionate, instinctive self.

It is a dance meditation practice with music and very minimal instruction. Everybody's welcome! There’s no step to learn, no need for experience of any movement practice or dancing skills, and no physical limitation or exclusion. We dance our own dance. If you have a body, you can dance! Please dress comfortably, ready to sweat! Bring your curiosity, a water bottle and your friends.

Please arrive at 7:00 PM. Latest entry 7:30 PM.
