I am a Dance Your Ability facilitator devoted to joyful, inclusive movement for
every body, from every neck of the woods.
As a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (www.traumahealing.org) and Breathwork facilitator (SOMA & Jon Paul Crimi), I bring trauma-informed eyeballs to everything I do.
Safety first, then we boogie.
I fell head-over-(barefoot) heels for 5Rhythms 35 years ago and have been devoted to self-led, soul-fed movement ever since. The freedom. The fulfillment.
The occasional dramatic floor roll. All of it.
Musically, I’m rarely not stirring a sizeable soup pot of sound - singing, songwriting, guitar, didgeridoo, DJ’ing, layering rhythms, and generally making weird & wonderful noise
wherever possible.
As a support worker for people with disabilities, I’m endlessly inspired by creative adaptations, brilliant problem-solving, and the wildly unique ways humans move through life, love, work, dreams, community and dance.

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!
