with Toni Bergins, JourneyDance™ Founder
Did you know that Northampton is where Toni Bergins began JourneyDance™ close to three decades ago? In 1994 Northampton became the heart of her dance exploration and personal transformation.
It was here, in the beautiful dance community of Northampton, that she first discovered the profound impact of movement. From taking an initial dancekinetics training to diving into playback theater, her life took a new direction, filled with synchronicity and creativity. The rich tapestry of modern dance, contact improvisation, free dance, and somatic movement practices in Northampton shaped the foundation of her life’s work.
Now, we are thrilled to welcome her back to Northampton to celebrate the launch of her book—the culmination of all those years of dance, exploration, and spiritual growth. This isn’t just a book launch; it’s a reunion, a homecoming to the place where it all began.
Why attend?
Reconnect: Join old friends and fellow dancers who share this journey.
Come together to reminisce and dance in the same spirit that united us years ago.
Celebrate: Be part of the very first physical unveiling of her book, right here in the place that inspired so much of what she does today.
Experience: Immerse yourself in a JourneyDance™ session that honors our shared past and looks forward to a future filled with movement, connection, and joy.
This is more than just an event—it’s a tribute to the vibrant dance community that has helped shape JourneyDance™. Whether you were part of those early days or are new to the practice, we warmly invite you to join us for an afternoon of dance, celebration, and heartfelt connection.
