Vaša pomoc bude ďalej meniť môj život a posúvať posolstvo možnej zmeny ďalším

Tanec 5Rytmov (5Rhythms®) je dynamická meditácia pohybom, vytvorená americkou tanečnicou, terapeutkou, charizmatickou šamankou Gabrielle Roth (1941–2012).  Pohyb je oboje – liek aj metafora, ktoré sa ku nám dostávajú naprieč cez všetky jazyky, kultúry a vekové skupiny. Kdekoľvek tancujeme 5Rytmov, vznikne komunita narodená pre tanec, ktorá  poskytne  bezpečný priestor pre každého z nás.

Táto dynamická pohybová prax veľmi zmenila môj život a ako rastie tanečnícka komunita na Slovensku, môžem pozorovať, že to prináša zmeny aj druhým.

Jedna z vecí, na ktorej mi tiež veľmi záleží a ktorú aj pomaly rozbieham, je pozývať na tanec  ľudí mojej generácie. Organizujem pravidelne „Tanec pre všetky generácie“ kde chodia aj deti, aj ľudia môjho veku.

V tanci 5Rytmov zažívam veľmi silné chvíle, keď sa ľudia smejú, plačú, objavujú v sebe nové a nepoznané, a tiež veľmi silné momenty, keď napríklad príde viackrát tancovať manželský pár so synom autistom a sú šťastní, že u nás nachádzajú bezpečný priestor byť  spoločne, ako rodina. Alebo ak sa objaví 80 ročná žena po infarkte, ktorú priviedla jej dcéra a v tanci vidno, ako sa pohybom preberá k životu.

Na 5Rytmov môžu prísť skúsení aj neskúsení tanečníci, na veku  tiež vôbec nezáleží. Tancujeme bez alkoholu a bez drôg. Je to spontánny, intuitívny a vedomý tanec – meditácia v pohybe, Nie je to tanec krok – sun krok, nemusíte prísť s partnerom. Tancujeme každý ako to cíti.

Veľmi pekne každému z Vás vopred ďakujem za pomoc a podporu.

Verím, že aj vďaka Vašej láskavej pomoci budem môcť pokračovať na ceste tanca 5Rytmov, tohto neuveriteľného dobrodružstva, ktoré zásadne zmenilo môj život a viditeľne mení aj životy ďalších.  Skladať playlisty na tanec 5Rytmov  a vnímať ako tanečníkov baví na ne tancovať -  v tomto som našla novú životnú lásku,   Vnímam  ako veľký dar, že som našla takéto poslanie, niečo čo ma poháňa stále ďalej. A teší ma aj feedback od tanečníkov, ktorí  opätovne prichádzajú tancovať, lebo ich to napĺňa a baví. Som vďačná aj za to že prichádzajú noví, lebo niekde počuli, že to je super, že sa to oplatí skúsiť. Plní sa mi aj ten sen prvého momentu – 5Rytmov si našlo svoje miesto v našej krajine.  Toto je tiež jeden z dôvodov, prečo chcem zvyšovať svoju kvalifikáciu v tejto oblasti. 

Veľká, preveľká vďaka.

Dance saved my life

My name is Miša Trizuljaková.  I am 72 years old. I am a happy mother and grandmother of 4 children and 9 grandchildren. I am a visual artist and storyteller and currently, I am also a DJ -  „5Rhythms  spaceholder“.

I would like to increase my qualifications and become a 5Rhythms teacher. It is a 2-year training. The training itself costs 8500 EUR, however, this will be coupled with additional costs for travel and stay for the two week´s modules of this training in various places and so the total amount for this training will probably come to 20 000 EUR.  I cannot finance this myself. I need your support. Will you help me?

Why is this so important for me?

At age 65, I was a life-weary person. I felt that life had nothing left to give me and I just had to wait for the end, which was surely near.

I've had a busy life, I've looked after four children on my own. I have always been involved in social and cultural activities. During communism, we had very low incomes, which meant that although we paid social insurance all our lives, after the dawn of communism the new system was unable to take care of our generation financially, and this persists to this day.  Many of us receive very low pensions, on the edge of survival. This has affected me as well. I could hardly survive without the help of my children and my sister.

Thanks to my children, I got to dance 5Rhythms for the first time. The dancing, the music, and the community of dancers who accepted me without prejudice, even though I couldn't stand and was only sitting down trying to move to the rhythm – all of this changed my life fundamentally in an instant.  I was and still am saved.

At that moment, even though it sounds paradoxical, I knew that I wanted to bring the 5Rhythms practice to Slovakia so that other people could experience the power of movement in this specific practice and the power of the dance community. Gradually my back problems went away and two years later I signed up for my first 5Rhythms training and became an accredited „5Rhythms Spaceholder“ 

Since 2018, I have been running regular weekly 5Rhythms „Sweats“ and organizing other 5Rhythms events in Bratislava and other cities in my country. During the pandemic, I hold online 5Rhythms clasess for the dancers. During this time, the original dancer´s community broke up, but I started meeting new people in the online space and we were supporting each other through those difficult times. It was also surprising to me personally what honest statements were shared after the dance and I made some very good new friends.  For the dancers cooped up at home, I learned to upload playlists – music to dance to at home on Mixcloud. My playlists on Mixcloud now have over 4500 listens, people are still dancing to them at home.

Your help will continue changing my life and spread the message of possible change to others 

The 5Rhythms® dance is a dynamic movement meditation created by American dancer, therapist, and charismatic shaman Gabrielle Roth (1941–2012)

Movement is both a cure and a metaphor that reaches us across all languages, cultures, and age groups. Wherever we dance 5Rhythms, a community born to dance will emerge, providing a safe space for each of us.

This dynamic movement practice has changed my life in a big way, and as the dance community grows nationally, I can see it bringing change to others as well.

One of the things I also care a lot about, and am slowly starting to do, is to invite people of my generation to dance. I organize regularly „Dance for all generations“ where both children and people my age come.

In 5Rhythms dance I experience very strong moments when people laugh, cry, and discover new and unknown things in themselves, and also very strong moments when, for example, a couple with an autistic son comes to dance several times and they are happy to find a safe space to be together as a family. Or when an 80-year-old woman after a heart attack shows up, brought by her daughter, and you can see in the dance how she is coming to life through movement.

 Both experienced and inexperienced dancers can come to 5Rtymov, age doesn't matter at all either. We dance without alcohol and without drugs. It's a spontaneous, intuitive, and conscious dance – a meditation in movement, It's not a step – sun step dance, you don't have to come with a partner. We dance each as we feel it.

We mutually create a safe space where we can be ourselves,

What are you contributing to and how will I use the funds?

You are contributing to my training as a 5Rhythms teacher+ travel and living expenses for the 2-year training modules in various locations in Europe and the USA

1. the first amount needed to enroll in the training- 3500 EUR must be paid by 1st September 2023.

2. The total amount for the training is 8500 EUR

3, the total cost of this training is up to 20000 EUR. If more money can be raised, it will help me to pay for the training stays in different places of the world and other follow-up 5Rhythms workshops needed after the training for the awarding of the certificate

In these few years, I see more different changes, both in myself and in the lives of our dancers.   My change is very significant and many people around me, family, and friends, are happy that it has happened this way.  A few years ago I hardly took a few tired steps and today I am full of enthusiasm, plans, dreams, and visions that I would like to realize.

Thank you very much to each of you in advance for your help and support.

I believe that thanks to your kind help I will be able to continue on the path of 5Rhythms dance, this incredible adventure that has fundamentally changed my life and is visibly changing the lives of others.  Composing playlists for the 5Rhythms dance and seeing how the dancers enjoy dancing to them – in this, I have found a new love of my life, I see it as a great gift that I have found such a passion, something that drives me ever onwards. And I'm also delighted with the feedback from dancers who come back to dance because they find it fulfilling and fun. I'm also grateful that new people are coming because they heard somewhere that it's cool, that it's worth a try. I am also fulfilling the dream of the first moment – 5Rhythms has found its place in our country.  This is also one of the reasons why I want to increase my qualifications in this field.

Thank you very much.
