Held inside the CLARA Auditorium, this 5Rhythms® class invites an open, improvisational approach to movement. Rather than learning choreography, participants explore five distinct energies—Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness—allowing the body to move with the music in its own way. All experience levels share the floor, and a simple way to begin is to move your feet and notice your breath. The practice can nurture connection with body, heart, mind, soul, and spirit, and over time the dance may feel subtle or powerful and deeply transformative. Rooted in the work of Gabrielle Roth and practiced worldwide, 5Rhythms is described as both art and healing, where movement becomes medicine and awareness grows through action. Classes are led by certified teachers Majica Alba or Bella Dreizler, with occasional visiting instructors. Sessions typically offer two waves with guidance and conclude with a closing circle. Wear comfortable clothing; many choose to dance barefoot. Expect music to carry the room and a wood floor underfoot, along with a supportive community. Drop-in admission is $25, a 10-class card is $225, and first-timers can purchase a three-class pass for $50. Payment is accepted at the door via cash, Venmo, or PayPal.

Harlow’s hosts an all-ages evening with Raynes and David Wimbish & The Collection. Raynes, a British American trio formed after North Dakota musicians Mat Charley and Joe Berger discovered UK singer Mark Race on Instagram, turned an online discovery into a real-life collaboration when Mark flew to the United States and even marked the trip with a tattoo of the flight number. Since then they have signed with Sony Music Publishing, released six singles and four EPs, drawn hundreds of thousands of monthly listeners and tens of millions of streams, and received press in Billboard and People. Their high-energy performances have reached BottleRock Festival as well as clubs, concert halls, and amphitheaters across the United States and the United Kingdom. Known for layered harmonies, distinctive instrumentation, and poetic lyricism, they blend folk, rock, and chamber pop with Celtic and global influences for a sound that defies easy labels. Their version of I Want You to Want Me was featured in an episode of Love Is Blind on Netflix in 2025. David Wimbish & The Collection bring songs shaped by upheaval and renewal. After a period marked by a breakup, moves within North Carolina, a new relationship, becoming a father, and the devastation of Hurricane Helene that left his community without clean water and searching for friends, David returned to music with fresh purpose. Now based in Richmond, Virginia, he presents Heavy Love, a warm and honest album created largely on his own in a studio he built at his parents’ home in North Carolina. Raised around music and having started The Collection in college, he has built a devoted following through big-hearted records fueled by stomp-and-holler energy, earnest songwriting, and human storytelling. The new work delves into aging, heartbreak, fractured friendships, natural disasters, nonconformity, love as action, and the uncertainties that come with finding one’s way.

The program also serves ethnically diverse, low-income neighborhoods in Yolo County identified as food insecure by the USDA, with promotional materials available in Russian, Farsi, and Spanish. Its focus is a healthier, more equitable and resilient local food system built through community involvement and support for beginning and small-scale growers.
