JENNIFER TOROK,  "Before you are a Hindu, a Buddist, a MUslim, a Jew, a Christian, be a Human Being, be a good Human Being....and remember to breath" These are the words of Jennifer's Baba (teacher), which she humbly aspires to live into daily. Her EDUCATION includes a BA in Theater/Dance & Marketing, a MS in Special Education, a NIA teacher certification, and a passionate 8 year study of West African Dance. She is the mother of two very energetic pre-schoolers, she is a spouse, the former owner of the dance space Fala'la Movement Arts, a teacher of traditional and non traditional theraputic dance for 14 years, a professional actress for 3 years, an inner city special education teacher for 9 years, and a facilitator of traditional West African Grief Ritual. She aspires to support as many people as possible in experiencing the JOY OF MOVEMENT , through her self-created, fusion dance classes Celestial Sweat & Soul Rhythms, as well as formal classes of NIA & West African dance. She credits the following teachers for continuously reminding her that nothing in life is "mundane" & there is no sweeter "success" than pure Seva (service); Baba Harihar Ramji, Sobonfu Some, Gabrielle Roth, Debbie & Carlos Rosas, Ruby Burns, & Shannon Mayer thank you. She whole-heartedly believes "If you can talk you can sing, if you can walk you can dance"
