Whatever you are comfortable dancing in!
I usually wear leggings, shorts or a jumpsuit, but this class can be taken in a skirt, trousers or jeans - anything you are comfortable dancing in.

You don't need any dance experience to Groove.
There's no left or right, no complicated choreography. Just super-simple moves that I teach and cue and then you dance those moves your way.

It depends on how much you want to move, you can move a little and slowly or a lot and quickly. I offer lots of options. It's an incredible mood-booster.
The class is taken in an upstairs room up a steep flight of stairs, so you do need to be able to get up those.
But you get to dance at your own pace, you even get to sit down and Groove if you like.
If you want cardio and strength - you'll dance hard, if you're tired and want to take it easier you can do. We have Groovers in chairs who love the freedom to join in fully with a class while seated.

Everyone can dance! I teach Groove to people who are deaf and people in wheelchairs as well as super-fit 20-somethings.
We are born to respond to rhythmic sound and to enjoy rhythmic movement. I promise you that you will leave this class knowing you can dance!

Nope, I encourage you to dance barefoot as it's slippy in socks.
Groove is great for feeling amazing, releasing stress, having fun, building confidence, building cardio fitness as well as strength, balance and flexibility.
Everyone dances the moves in their own way at their own pace so you can really go for it, or you can be more gentle.

about the Teacher
Emma Groove & Pound
Emma has danced for fun all her life and loves to share her love of music and movement in her Groove, Barre Yoga and Drum Circle classes, encouraging freedom of expression, joy, curiosity and a healthy dose of silliness.
She likes to remind us that Plato said “Music and rhythm find their way into the secret places of the soul” and that's her excuse for always breaking into dance! She believes we are all born with an innate desire to dance and that everyone should be empowered to dance in a way that feels good to them.
Emma trained with Misty Tripoli of the World Groove Movement, Marla Leigh of the Frame Drum Academy, the Village Drum Circle, Barre Concept and Pound. She is also our Ashtanga Yoga teacher and Studio Director!
