Welcome to the Shapeshift Dance website detailing courses in
Gabrielle Roth's 5 Rhythms™ with Dawn Morgan
and guest teachers.

Gabrielle Roth’s 5 Rhythms are: Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, & Stillness. Together they take the dancer through an energetic wave of movement and a landscape of moods; playful, meditative, passionate, gentle, surrenderd. This dance form awakens us on all levels, body, heart, mind, spirit and soul. We are sparked at our most creative when all aspects are embraced, connected and in motion. This is great exersise for the body, includes heartful expression and mindful movement, offering a dancing pathway to spiritual awakening.

Dawn trained to teach the 5 Rhythms in 1994 with Gabrielle Roth and recently completed an advanced teacher training in 'Heartbeat' enableing her to work more deeply with the emotions. She has studied Tantra (practicing meditations that include sexual energy and healing) for 10 years and has completed a training in birth support and fertility awareness. She has a BSc Honours in psychology from Bristol University

and lives in Gloucestershire with her son, Arien who is 7 years old.

As director of Shapeshift Dance she teaches and arranges workshops nationally and internationally. She warmly welcomes newcomers and experienced dancers to this wonderful dancing meditation practice.

Working with delicacy, passion, depth and lightness she invites you to come and discover your dance.

“Dawn is a rare gem. Her love of the dance, a quiet connection to the feminine mysteries and a wild sense of humour create a blend of teaching that is both deeply caring and beautifully unpredictable. She will catalyse your own desire for freedom, and hold a space where you can remember the sacred nature of the body, the passion of the heart and the creativity of your mind. If you love the dance, you’ll be at home!” Ya’Acov Darling Khan, Director of The School of Movement Medicine in the UK
