New York, New York

Kierra Foster-Ba has 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 workshops throughout the world including Europe, Latin America, Asia, and across the US. The 5Rhythms® provide participants with rich opportunities to center, connect, and contribute! We center by dancing our truth; we connect with others understanding our shared humanity and contribute what we learn in our dances to the world around us.

‘“I believe that when we have enough people that understand that you are not your ego. Your ego will get hurt and upset about every little thing, but you are beyond that. You are bigger than that. I also believe that we are intimately connected, intimately connected in ways that we can’t even see and that don’t make logical sense.”
