I am a Dance Your Ability facilitator with a passion for providing inclusive dance experiences that access the joy of movement for all humans from every neck of the woods.
With a zest for sports, music, and all things body-related from the get-go, it was love at first step discovering 5Rhythms 30 years ago and the freedom we can experience with
self-led movement.
I’m currently in my final of the 3-year Somatic Experiencing Practitioner program (www.traumahealing.org) and I value trauma-informed eyeballs for everything I do.
I am a certified practitioner in both Jon Paul Crimi and SOMA Breathwork and delight in combining breathwork with dance and somatic awareness in the wilds of the Yukon.
Consistently delving into a sizeable soup pot of music, I have a hearty appetite for singing, songwriting, guitar, didgeridoo, DJ'ing, and creating & combining all forms of music & sound.
As a support worker for people with disabilities it brings me great joy to focus on people’s creative & brilliant adaptations, unique abilities, and approaches to life, love, work, dreams, community & movement.

Testimonials
Dancing in the trees, in harmony with the land and sky, was a sublime group experience.
Boreal Boogie is pure joy!
Jennifer Berezan
Singer/Songwriter, Activist, Producer
Teegatha´Oh Zheh members adore when Jen brings her lovely energy and we dance together. Boreal Boogie and her silent discos are an incredible and fun way to get your body moving. She will accompany us on our outings and outdoor dances now that
spring has arrived.
Completely recommended. You can also let her know what songs you like, and she will incorporate them into your mix.
We love you Jen!!

What a lovely Boogie! Jen creates a lovely atmosphere for connection, a safe space to move, a safe space to dance in any way that you like where no one critiques or comments.
I immediately felt comfortable and welcome.

Dancing + Wild = Boreal Boogie
I love dancing and I love being in the wild. Combining these two loves brings me to
Boreal Boogie.
Jen's thoughtfully curated playlist beams in through a headset and, although I typically dance solo, all dancers collectively move to the beat of the same music—and we do move!
The headset sound system transmits up to 4 football fields, allowing dancers to enjoy a duet with a friend, a tree, a river or a rock—or to branch out to wherever the wild dancing spirit takes them.
If you like dancing in the wild, Boreal Boogie is for you!
