Welcome to In the Groove…
Established in 2017, In the Groove was inspired by the power of music to educate, engage, heal and connect. Our programs and classes are largely inspired by West African rhythm and song, as traditionally this music is entwined with community, society and culture. We believe that music can act as a powerful vehicle in facilitating learning, building relationships and generating positive change.
What does “In the Groove” mean?
In The Groove is a musical term that has evolved to have a powerful meaning that expands beyond the music. Being in the groove is also about being in your element and performing with confidence. It refers to a sense of flow and enjoying the moment. We can be in the groove in a personal sense and also in relation to others and the world around us. Through rhythm, we can learn much about life.
