if you wish to talk, please do so outside the room &#8211; we want to focus our attention on our bodies, and talking is very distracting in this context<\/li>\n<li>whoever comes to dance stays until the end (if you have an appointment halfway through, please come another time instead)<\/li>\n<li>please be punctual, we start together and anyone who arrives late acts as a brake for the group<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>WELL-BEING AND SAFETY<\/h3>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li>we move without alcohol or other drugs, come sober<\/li>\n<li>we dance barefoot or in dance shoes, no socks, or only with anti-slip grips<\/li>\n<li>no chewing gum, sweets, or similar<\/li>\n<li>we move with open eyes to perceive others in the room<\/li>\n<li>be responsible for the well-being of your body, respect its limits<\/li>\n<li>there may be phases where you are rather loud, need a lot of space, or rage excessively through the room; respect others in doing so and ensure that you are also respected if the situation is reversed<\/li>\n<li>should you suffer from a psychological or physical illness, please contact the teacher before the session\/workshop begins<\/li>\n<li>The 5Rhythms\u00ae movement practice can have a very therapeutic and healing effect, but it is not used for the healing of physical or mental illnesses and is not a substitute for psychotherapeutic treatments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>CONTENT<\/h3>\n<p>Here you will find a protected space and a little guidance to embark on the moving journey to your authentic expression and follow the magic of your own dance.<br \/>It&#8217;s about discovering yourself; no one can do or prevent that but you.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li>follow your impulses and be open to change<\/li>\n<li>everyone was a beginner once, forget about others and what they might think of you &#8211;

it will be different every time<\/li>\n<li>take the time you need<\/li>\n<li>when we move, sometimes held-back feelings are released; you are invited to give space to these and to allow others their space too<\/li>\n<li>normally, there is music at the beginning and uncommented time to arrive &#8211;
