Congrats to Nikki Bergen- Our Spring 2010 Featured DivaGirl Licensee!
DivaGirl is proud to announce that Nikki Bergen has been selected as our Spring Featured Licensee! Here is some information about this FABULOUS DIVA!
Nikki Bergen (Downtown Toronto & Oakville)
- What are three words that best describe Nikki?
Positive, adventurous, open-minded - Tell us a bit about yourself: the true Diva.
I love dance, travel, photography, perfume, disco balls, eyeliner, Prince, stilettos, a good rock concert, making no excuses, dinner with friends, Mozart and making your dreams happen. - How did you get into teaching dance/fitness? Tell us about your experiences in the industry.
I started dancing at age 4 and never stopped. I swapped ballet and salsa in my teens and traveled to Cancun, Mexico to choreograph resort shows. The Ballroom and Latin bug stuck and upon returning to Toronto I worked for years at Arthur Murray. After a dance injury I turned to Stott Pilates for my own rehab and immediately recognized the benefits – not only to dancers but also to everyone. I decided to become an instructor and founded my company Grace Corps Studio! Today I’m performing, teaching dance and Pilates and feeling blessed to be doing what I love. - Why did you decide join DivaGirl?
I truly believe in a network of women supporting other women. Entrepreneurial spirit is a precious commodity that should be fostered and shared. I wanted to be a part of that.
- Tell us a bit about the classes/workshops that you offer to the DivaGirl Community.
I teach Pilates to tone, strengthen and elongate the muscles. There are beginner to advanced classes that will leave you feeling tighter, straighter and more in touch with your body. Classes run in Oakville and downtown Toronto. I also offer private and group ballroom and Latin dance lessons around the GTA, in particular for people preparing for their wedding dance. - Why should women attend your DivaGirl classes/workshops?
For grace, confidence and better relationships! Pilates will tone your entire body and leave you feeling flexible and strong. Ballroom and Latin dance is a better cardiovascular workout than anything I’ve ever experienced. Dancing with a partner builds skills like cooperation, communication and trust – all key elements to a strong relationship! - What constitutes you as a Diva?
I believe in my dreams. I support other women. I know what I’m worth and won’t settle for less. Oh and I love red wine, yachts and the south of France. - What are your top three tips to help women get fit, have fun and feel sexy?
1) Do what moves you (what you love).
2) Remember you can only hold one clear thought in your mind at a time: choose a positive one.
3) Wear sensuous perfume and moisturizer everyday.
- Are there any upcoming workshops/events/projects that you are working on, that you would like to share to the DivaGirl community?
We have a wedding dance 101 workshop coming Sunday April 18 in Oakville! Learn basics to make you First Dance a smashing success! This is a great event as an intro to you and your whole bridal party. Divas in the City- June 3rd. This is one event that you don’t want to miss! - Final comments?
Divas rule!
