This week’s Dance First Member Spotlight shines on Toni Bergins and JourneyDance! Toni has been developing JourneyDance since 1997 and has touched the lives of more than 75,000 people through her classes and workshops. Since its inception, JourneyDance has grown to over 500 teachers worldwide. Each class focuses on allowing its students to find their inner Light and connection to Source as a means to inspire increased self-love and joy for life.
Toni’s diverse experiences in interactive theatre, Kripalu DansKinetics, shamanic practice, combined with experiential training in energy work, chakras, yoga, and visualization led to the creation of JourneyDance. She specializes in using creative teaching methods to encourage her students to find their inner voice and direction.
JourneyDance’s unique roots combine into a transformational dance form centering on both freestyle and structural movement. The JourneyDance Transformational Dance Movement Flow leads participants on a ritual journey of physical and emotional transformation. Through breath, sweat, and expression, participants gain a palpable experience of themselves as pure powerful energy.
Whether you want to schedule a private session with Toni or attend one of JourneyDance’s American or international events, there is a class or workshop waiting for you. Toni herself hosts a wide range of experiential classes centered on facilitating an authentic JourneyDance™ experience. Currently, Toni has three events open for registration.
