'''5Rhythms''' is a movement meditation practice devised by [[Gabrielle Roth]] in the late 1970s.<ref>{{cite web|last=North|first=Madelaine|title=TALK OF THE TOWN: Just do it Rhythm is a dancer
(contracted; show full)

While the practice is transformative and can be therapeutic, Gabrielle Roth does not describe 5Rhythms as a form of dance therapy. However, many therapists have obtained a 5Rhythms certification to support their therapeutic practice.<ref>[http://5rhythms.com 5Rhythms]. Date=15 March 2014</ref>

==Schools and teachers==
Roth founded ''The Moving Center'' in New York in 1977 
as a base for her workshops, and to train and develop certified teachers.<ref>[http://www.5rhythms.com/the-moving-center-new-york/ 5Rhythms: Moving Center New York]. Retrieved February 4, 2014</ref> This shapeshifted into 5Rhythms Global in 2012. 5Rhythms teachers Andrea Juhan, Kathy Altman and Lori Saltzman  were invited by Roth to co-direct the expansionopening of a 2nd branch of The Moving Center School in [[Mill Valley, California]] in 1994.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.souldance.be/vormingscentrum/algemeen/lesgevers/kathyaltman.html | title=Vormingscentrum lesgevers & begeleiders: Kathy Altman | publisher=Souldance | year=2012 | accessdate=4 February 2014}} (in English)</ref> In 2013, The Moving Center in Mill Valley was closed with Saltzman, Altman and Juhan abandoning the 5Rhythms in their work in lieu of alternative movement methodology. Juhan continues (2014) to teach Open Encounter (formerlyAltman and Juhan began to teach their own movement methodology, Open Floor), an approved synthesis of 5Rhythms with other forms of therapy.<ref name='Juhan-PDF'>{{cite web

==Reception==

Charlotte Macleod, writing in the ''[[London Evening Standard]]'', describes dancing the 5Rhythms as a kind of antidote to life in a large city, and how she was attracted to a dance class by a video of Thom Yorke. The class leaves her "mentally and physically refreshed, and oddly connected to the other dancers." The dance was "a kind of moving meditation" for her.<ref name="EveningStandard">{{cite web | url=http://www.thisislondon.co.u(contracted; show full){{Meditation}}
