Group Groove utilizes moves from three styles of dance; club, urban and Latin. These styles include many types of dance, such as: house, techno, disco and rock n’ roll for club, hip hop, rap, R&B, jazz and funk for urban and samba, salsa, house and meringue for Latin.

Since Group Groove is a cardiovascular workout, you can do it once a week or get it groovin’ everyday! In addition, the more you groove, the more your balance and coordination will improve.

How Often Should You Do It?
Because Group Groove is a cardio-fitness jam, you can do it once a week or Groove every day. How you feel the next day will be your best gauge, in terms of the recovery your body needs between workouts.
Tips to Get the Best Out of Groove
Just remember that it is only your first time once! Here are a few tips to ensure a good workout and overall enjoyment:
- Wear comfortable workout attire. Most people wear sweatpants, cargo pants, or shorts with tanks or t-shirts. Basically anything that makes you feel cool and lets you move.
- Wear comfortable athletic shoes. We suggest not wearing platform shoes.
- Bring a water bottle and a towel.
- Arrive early! That way you can meet with your instructor and they can answer any questions you may have to help put you at ease.
- Ignore the mirrors! They can be distracting—just have fun and remember that the instructor is the best source of visual technique.
We can all but assure you, that after class, you’ll be disappointed that the class is over. You’ll be amazed that an hour has already gone by. You may be surprised the next day that you are a little sore—but don’t despair, this is a great sign. It means you got a great workout, even while you were smiling and laughing!
