Guelph Groove
Dear Dancers,
The next Guelph Groove is coming up on Saturday January 6th, 2024 at 42 Quebec Street on the 3rd floor. Doors at 7:15pm, dance at 7:30pm. DJ Jenn will be providing the music this month!
We have a special offering to kick off the new year! You are invited to come early this month for a Somatic Movement introduction with Lindsay Gunn-Ouellette, to help you connect with your body and warm-up your muscles and joints before the dance. Join between 7:00-7:30pm for this wonderful offering (included in the price of entry to the dance). Participating in the Somatic Movement warm-up is optional, and you can still come early if you are not joining the warm-up.
VERY IMPORTANT ***Please do not come out dancing if you have cold or flu symptoms, or are feeling unwell***
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)
- 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
- Cost is $15 or PWYC. Cash at the door, or by e-transfer to theguel...@gmail.com
The Guelph Groove strives to offer a safe and nonjudgmental space to explore spontaneous, free-form, mindful movement with playful curiosity. It’s a great opportunity to experience embodied self-awareness and 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!
