Hello Groovers!
The next Guelph Groove is Saturday January 3rd at 42 Quebec Street on the 3rd floor. Doors are at 7:15pm, opening circle begins at 7:30pm. We are excited to have Amelia as our DJ for the evening! <3
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.
There is a capacity limit on people in the space to prevent overcrowding, support airflow, and ensure enough space for all to move safely/ freely. Come early to ensure you get a spot on the dance floor!
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 7:40pm 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 9:15 pm 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 slow to fast to slow again 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. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. Cash at the door, or by e-transfer to theguel...@gmail.com
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,
Amelia, Melanie and John (your temporary 2025-2026 organizers)
