Events




When we were girls, we danced at a moment’s notice. We danced to the radio. We danced with the wind. We danced our hearts out. We danced to our own drum.

And then something happened. And we stopped.

Groove Back is the place to start again. Space. Time. Music. That’s all it takes. For an hour and a half , you are invited to remember that you are a dancer. Yes, you.

Why Groove Back?

Once we’re grown up, where do we dance? Weddings? Not often enough. Dance class? Too structured, too focused and often too intimidating. The club? Been there. Done that. Not interested in being squished, grabbed or hanging out with kids. We just want to dance. Why should it be so hard?

It isn’t!

At Groove Back…

  • Dress to please your inner dancer. If a long, flowing skirt make you swirl, wear it! If Lulu Lemon pants set you free, bring it on! If sparkle makes you feel like a dancing queen, go for it!
  • Get grounded. At Groove Back, we ask that you dance in bare feet or soft-soled shoes (jazz or ballet slippers, sneakers) to keep you grounded and free to move.
  • Pick your favourites. The music for Groove Back is a pre-set playlist loaded on the DJ’s iPod. Once you’ve bought your ticket, you can make a request. If the DJ has it, it’s on. If not, you’ll have the option to buy the song for the Groove Back library with half the proceeds going to charity.
  • Expand your horizons. Music of different eras, paces and styles will be played. Groove Back invites you to open your heart and move your feet to new tunes and to new vibes.
  • We create the space. Groove Back takes place in modest surroundings. But just like the best parties happen in the kitchen, the best groove happens when we leave our hearts on the dance floor, when we share the space with our tribe, no matter where we are.
