Guelph Groove Saturday May 3rd & 5Rythms Workshop Sunday May 4th
Guelph Groove
Greetings dancers,
The next Guelph Groove is this coming Saturday May 3rd at 42 Quebec Street on the 3rd floor. Doors are at 7:15pm, dance begins at 7:30pm. Melanie will be our wonderful DJ this month :) Whoop whoop!!
VERY IMPORTANT ***Please do not come out dancing if you have cold or flu symptoms, or are in any way feeling unwell*** 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 number of dancers in the space to ensure it is not overcrowded.
Here are some reminders about what to expect at the Groove:
- Doors open at 7:15pm and dance begins with a brief opening circle 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!
- Dance ends around 9pm with a closing circle.
- No shoes or partners necessary, all bodies and abilities are welcomed and celebrated
- Inspired by the 5Rhythms, music will flow from fast to slow to support our dance journey
- Street parking is available in the downtown area, but fills up quickly on Saturday, so give yourself enough time to find a parking spot nearby
- 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)
- We have a locked coat room for coats, bags and footwear
- The space is accessible, but arrangements must be made in advance to meet at the elevator - please email theguel...@gmail.com for this
- Is a scent free space so please no perfumes/ colognes/ strong deodorants
- Suggested donation is $15 or PWYC. Cash at the door, or by e-transfer to theguel...@gmail.com
There is also a 5Rhythms Workshop with Layah Jane happening Sunday May 4th from 11am to 5pm
This will be an excellent opportunity to deepen your meditative movement practice through exploring the 5Rhythms!
are available for individuals who want to attend the workshop, but for whom cost is prohibitive. These grants are provided by the Guelph Groove, as part of the Groove's ongoing commitment to making the conscious/ ecstatic dance community in Guelph accessible and inclusive. The Guelph Groove strives to offer a welcoming and nonjudgmental space to explore spontaneous, free-form, mindful movement with playful curiosity. It’s a great opportunity to explore embodied self-expression through the healing power of dance. Come and move to the music as you are inspired to... breathe, bend, bounce, shake, wiggle and flow!
Looking forward to moving with you soon! <3
Warmly,
Kat (Volunteer at The Guelph Groove)
