Imagine a dance class where mirrors are swapped for smiles, and comparisons replaced with connection…
Welcome to Groove, a vibrant space where you can discover the joy of moving with others, no matter your age, shape, or dance experience!
You know that voice in your head whispering criticisms as you glance at the mirror in a technical dance class? Ditch that! At Groove, it's all about celebrating the joy of moving your body and connecting with others and having fun. As one of our amazing Groovers recently said: “We're a mix of skill levels, fitness levels, and ages and Karen makes it a beautiful experience for all of us.” Wow and thank you! I believe in celebrating your unique way of moving. It makes me so happy to see the smiles on your faces and watching this community grow.
Why do I love Groove so much? Because it's more than just learning steps (although we do some of that too!) It's about the magic that happens when we move together in our own unique way. Science says that social connection makes us happier, but here it's about the smiles, the shared energy, the feeling of belonging to something bigger.
Feeling a bit shy? We all do sometimes! But at Groove, we leave self-consciousness at the door. We laugh, we move freely, and we revel in the pure, unadulterated joy of dance. It's a creative workout, sure, but it's so much more. It's about feeling the music (all kinds!) and authentic connection with the people around you.
Ready to bust a move and find your groove? Join our vibrant dance community in person or online and experience the transformative power of moving together. See you on the dance floor!
