Jake Smith

Have you ever felt like you were constantly playing different roles in life? Provider, protector, mentor, supporter, guide,... We often find ourselves immersed in responsibilities and commitments, all while overlooking the most essential role of all – being ourselves. 

For much of my life, I thrived in various roles, from my time in the military to my career in engineering and the beautiful chaos of family life. These roles were fulfilling in their own right, each with its own shared goals and camaraderie. Yet, somewhere along the way, I realized that I had lost touch with the core of who I truly am.

That's when 5Rhythms® came into my life, and everything changed. This incredible practice opened a door to my inner self, revealing the emotional being that had been yearning for self-expression all along. It became the bridge between my conscious self and the depths of my inner world. 

5Rhythms® is not just about dancing; it's about reawakening the authentic essence within us. It's a practice that nurtures a two-way channel, allowing your inner self to flow outward and your conscious self to observe, learn, and integrate. The result is a more genuine and fulfilled version of yourself that emerges through the dance.

Imagine a space where you can shed your roles, your masks, and simply be yourself – raw, unfiltered, and beautifully imperfect. That's what 5Rhythms offers. It welcomes you with open arms, no matter your background or dance experience. There are no judgments, only a community of like-minded souls embarking on a journey of self-discovery and self-expression together.

Jake is in the current 5Rhythms Teacher Training and offering 5Rhythms Sweats as part of his training program. A Sweat begins with a gentle warm-up and brief 5Rhythms demonstration, followed by an unguided Wave where the music moves you and your body is the teacher. Jake is mentored and supported by Alessandro Moruzzi, the  5Rhythms teacher training team and his long list of teachers who continue to support him on his path to becoming a Certified and Accredited 5Rhythms Teacher.
