NYC 5Rhythms® Dance Teacher
Learn to tap into your body's innate wisdom with the 5Rhythms.
Kierra Foster-Ba studied the 5Rhythms® with Gabrielle Roth, the founder, for 15+ years.
Kierra appears in Gabrielle's Power Wave video and in the documentary "Dances of Ecstasy". She also dances with PURE (Public Urban Ritual Experiment), an international organization of artists devoted to using belly dance to promote peace and end suffering.
Kierra has been offering 5Rhythms® classes in New York City since 2008 and expanding her offerings to include Femme! a movement practice to live drumming. She offers worldwide workshops including Europe, Latin America, Asia, and the US. Reach out to Kierra@Shakingspiritwaves.com to bring these offerings to your community.
In addition to her extensive experience in 5Rhythms®, Kierra integrates elements of other dance forms and somatic practices to create a holistic approach to movement. Her classes are known for their inclusivity, warmth, and transformative potential. Kierra's teaching not only enhances physical well-being but also fosters emotional and spiritual growth, making her sessions a profound journey into self-discovery and communal bonding. Whether you are a seasoned dancer or new to the practice, Kierra's welcoming presence invites you to explore and express your authentic self.
H.U.M. Healing Using Movement
Kierra has created her own body of work using dance as a tool for profound healing and transformation. It is both a synthesis of what she has studied over the past 30 + years and her unique understanding of integrating all parts of the self (the shiny bits we are proud to show people and the bits that are like dented up tin cans that we hide even from ourselves.) This body of trademarked work is called H.U.M. Healing Using Movement. It combines authentic dance, vocal sound, and sensuality.
The 5Rhythms® provides participants with rich opportunities to center, connect, and contribute!
