Island Groove

We have several flexible and money-saving class packages available! See which one works for you and then purchase at any Island Groove class!

FirstTimers / New Students - FIRST CLASS FREE!!
(Please note this only applies to the regular classes not to Island Groove Special Events)

Island Groove Master Classes and Special Event Classes are held as separate events. These are not to be confused with regular classes held each season.
All series - once purchased are only valid within the season of regular classes - you will not be able to transfer unused classes over to the next season - so therefore, PLEASE choose your class package wisely.
Students with class series packages CANNOT transfer them to another person.
Students who bring new people to class - if 3 or more actually return - can earn free classes or discounts on their class packages. So please spread the island fever!
Island Groove may change venue location from time to time each season so make sure you stay tuned to our newsletters or website for any changes.

All classes are 90-min long and sometimes have live drumming.
Remember to bring a towel, lots of water and wear very light and comfortable workout shoes - -so that you can really move freely in class. This is very important because there is so much movement in the classes, so you want to feel really light on your feet - so it is important to wear the proper shoes. The lighter your sneakers are - the better. Make sure there is shock absorption, flexibility, stability and that it fits perfectly.
No dance experience is necessary. However you must love people, and you must leave all inhibitions at home in order to be really free.
Classes are taught in a carnival style-which is basically a "follow the leader" technique. Hence there is no set dance routine. The class is very free-spirited with emphasis on SPIRIT within the movement and not so much perfection of movement.
Some of the dance styles include: soca (bachannal style), soca (road march style) rope dance, limbo, bottle dance, soca train, conga line, meringue (party style), samba, punta, johnkunnu, reggae (dancehall style), and much more!
All class props are provided by the instructor - such as flags, rags, leis, masks, whistles etc.
The classes are filled with incredible explosive energy and the movements although fun and sexy can be very challenging - so feel free to pace yourself, take a break if you have to - come back in and join in the fun again. There is no stress in this class - remember it's no different from a carnival party - so do what you can do to the best of your ability as the instructor guides you in a festive mode.
Please note - the more you come back - the more free you become with your body, the more stamina you will have, and the more wonderful physical and soulistic benefits you will see - just creeping up on you!

See you in the islands
