JJennifyre is a multi-disciplinary artist with an extensive background in dance, art, performance, somatic movement, and therapeutic embodiment. She is a professionally trained teacher in many techniques and traditions of dance, and is also a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor specializing in Relational Somatic Therapy. As she brings these worlds together, she holistically weaves dance, movement, creativity, and embodied awareness into a nurturing and supportive dance experience.

 

With 46 years of dance study and experience, Jennifyre has developed a unique approach to dance, movement, and the teaching of both. Her passion for teaching shines through in a creative, fun, integrative, and embodied approach. Over the past 28 years, she has naturally developed a unique fusion-based approach to dance exploration, weaving together diverse dance traditions, creative movement, and somatic practices.

 

Created locally in the Kootenays, under the umbrella of Trillium School of Dance & Holistic Expression, Jennifyre has developed a holistic dance curriculum that combines different styles of dance, movement, and somatic practices. This work immerses dancers into a culture of movement, expression, creativity, and community.

 

Now celebrating its 20th year, Trillium Dance has grown into a vibrant and evolving body of work rooted in the belief that dance can be a place for connection—to ourselves, to one another, and to the larger community.

 

Evocative, invoking, and vivid, Trillium Dance programs and performances imbue strength, passion, beauty, grace, and joy. Programs bring fresh curiosity to a variety of cultural traditions and eclectic styles of dance, while weaving authentic and contemporary exploration, somatic movement, authentic moving, and Body-Mind Centering practices.

 

Trillium Dance mentors dancers of all ages into a unique and empowering dance synthesis—one that invites dancers not only to learn steps and styles, but to discover their own relationship with movement, expression, creativity, and connection.

 

Jennifyre is delighted to share her love of dance with her community and to continue creating spaces where people can move, explore, connect, and come alive through dance.
