What people say about Jo and her courses:
Dance - I discovered my body can express emotions without getting tangled up by words.
5 Rhythms dance - utterly wonderful.
Highlight of the fortnight.
I found rhythms wonderful, the music and facilitating were excellent. Fabulous, held the space beautiful, made me feel safe.
I didn’t have any expectations or idea of what was involved but I really got a lot out of the course and fully intend to pursue when home.
I really appreciated the sensitivity of Jo's 5-Rhythms when the whole group was overcome by emotion at a particular session. It felt safe.
Jo Hardy is one of my favourite 5R teachers (having danced for 15 years) amazing.
Jo Hardy's disco evening activity offering and general ‘hold’ of things were exemplary.
Jo was an incredible teacher for the five rhythms and made every session amazing.
Jo - 5R - beautiful space.
Jo in particular, was incredibly skilled and I learnt so much more than I imagined I would.
5-Rhythms with Jo was a new experience for me was very rewarding.
5-Rhythms excellent, beautifully held by Jo Hardy.
