Dances happen at 42 Quebec St downtown Guelph, Ontario from October through June!Join us to explore mindful, free-form, spontaneous movement with playful curiosity- a great way to experience embodied self-awareness and authentic self-expression through the healing power of dance. Move however the music calls you to! Breathe, bend, bounce... shake, wiggle, and flow in an open and nonjudgemental space with others.
There is no right or wrong way to dance at the Groove! We aim to cultivate a sense of community, acceptance and inclusivity, where everyone can express themselves, while respecting others. Facilitators of the Groove are committed to creating an environment where people can be comfortable moving in their bodies, free from judgement and discrimination.
Here are some reminders about what to expect at the Groove:
🌟 No shoes or partners necessary, open to all bodies and abilities
🌟 Inspired by the 5Rhythms. will flow from fast to slow to support our dance journey
🌟 Will dance without talking from 7:30 to 9pm, with brief opening and closing circles
🌟 Doors open at 7:15pm and dance begins at 7:30pm. Doors will close at 7:45pm sharp. In the time before the opening circle, you can stretch, dance, meditate or chat with fellow dancers. Prepare yourself for the dance journey in whatever way is needed!
🌟 Street parking is available in the downtown area, but fills up quickly on a Saturday, so give yourself enough time to find a parking spot nearby
🌟 Remember to dress in comfortable clothes that you can move in, and bring a water bottle (sinks in the washroom are small, making it difficult to refill bottles)

In an effort to make the environment as safe and sanitary as possible, masks and hand sanitizer are provided at the door. Wearing a mask is not mandatory, but encouraged if this is comfortable for you. We also do our best to attend to air flow throughout the space during the dance, and are limiting the amount of dancers in the space to ensure it is not overcrowded.
