The Traveler: A 5 Rhythms Journey Inspired by the Silk Road
April 4th 7PM - 9PM
Wightman School Community Building - 5604 Solway St, Pittsburgh, PA 15217 (third floor ballroom)
Embark on a dance ritual exploration where your body becomes a landscape of ancient paths, whispered stories, and inner migrations. This 5 Rhythms Wave invites you to traverse the intricate terrains of your being, guided by the musical echoes of caravans, desert winds, and crossroads.
Drawing inspiration from the diverse musical traditions along the Silk Road, we'll move through a soundscape of:
Flowing rhythms of prompt adaptation
Staccato beats of determined traders
Chaos of unexpected encounters
Lyrical moments of personal revelation
Stillness where inner and outer landscapes merge
**This class is a SWEAT, which is held with minimal instruction
No dance experience needed—only a willingness to listen to the geography of your own movement and the silent music of your internal compass.

Meet Emiliano - 5Rhythms Teacher in Training
Emiliano has been on the Gabrielle Roth’s 5 Rhythms dancing path since 2015, and he is currently a Teacher in Training. He arrived in the US, via Italy in 2021. Ambassador of change and reinvention, he aims to connect and welcome you to a safe space to process and fully express yourself while releasing blocks through the catalyst medium of this dynamic Movement Map.
‘This map holds the possibility to take us to the place where the mind is free from fluctuations and allow our heart's whispers to come forth. It is simple yet powerful.
Gabrielle Roth's 5Rhythms completely transformed my Life - and still are - in a way I could hardly imagine. The more I move, the more I am moved, and everything else follows, like the bus coming on time.
The 5Rhythms is the sanctuary where I have the chance to deconstruct and start anew, again and again. The dance floor is the Abode where I can practice my humanity without boundaries and remember to take it to the streets.
The door of this dance is always open, but to find yours, there is only one option: step in and start moving until the mind is tired and see what happens.
Come as you are with what you have. Let it move through you. Move on.’
