Past Facilitators

Layah Jane (Co-founder, DJ, Door Facilitator)

Delighting in dance since childhood, Layah has a background in Contemporary Dance, Ballet, Eurythmy, and Continuum Movement. Layah has facilitated all-ages dance gatherings in Toronto since co-founding the collective creative movement playground that is The Move, in 2003. Layah’s love of diving deep with dance drew her to the 5Rhythms® movement practice, and after over a decade of study, she became a certified 5Rhythms® teacher in 2014.

As an award-winning Folk/Soul singer-songwriter, teacher for 5Rhythms® Toronto, and a former regular DJ at Toronto’s conscious dance hubs, The Move and Ecstatic Dance Toronto, Layah says, “the musical offerings I make are those that rock my own heart, move my soul, and make me sweat, be it a funky groove, a soulful melody, a meditative soundscape, or a big thumping tribal beat.”
