GROOVE DANCE SESSIONS

Groove Dance Sessions brings together the groove, rhythm and footwork of different dance styles, with a special focus on Swing Dance — Boogie-Woogie, 50s Rock ’n’ Roll, Charleston & Solo Jazz — alongside foundations and influences from Afro Tribal, Afro House, House Dance and Dancehall. This is an energetic, cardio-based dance class designed to get the whole body moving. Each session begins with a proper warm-up to prepare the body, mobilize the joints and muscles, and allow you to move safely and freely throughout the class. More than learning steps, the main purpose of Groove Dance Sessions is to develop a deep and genuine connection between body, mind, rhythm and movement. Through bounce, groove, basic footwork, coordination and musicality, we learn to listen to the music with the whole body; allowing movement to become more natural, fluid, expressive and instinctive. There is no pressure to move like anyone else. Everybody has its own rhythm, personality and way of expressing music. The class is open to all levels, and exercises and moves will always be adapted to each person’s experience and ability. Expect to move, build energy, explore, release tension and have fun while developing coordination, cardiovascular endurance, body awareness, musicality and confidence in movement. What to bring: comfortable clothing that allows complete freedom of movement; better loose or stretchy clothes both work well; comfortable trainers or dance shoes, water and a towel. Come as you are. Find the beat. Feel the groove. Let your body move.
