Groove Dance Experience
Event details
Join Melanie for a truly special session of movement, connection, and dancing in nature - deep in the heart of one of the North East's most beloved woodlands.
You'll be wearing silent disco headphones - but this is absolutely not a silent disco! Your music is curated just for you, a carefully chosen playlist designed to connect you with the woodland around you - the light through the trees, the crunch of the path beneath your feet, the feeling of moving freely in nature.
We'll move and dance through the forest rather than stay in one spot, pausing in clearings, along trails, and in unexpected pockets of woodland magic. Be prepared for a creative, joyful, and deeply nourishing experience - one that will take you on a journey.
So what exactly is Groove?
Groove is a guided group dance experience - joyful, feel-good, and completely unique. There are no steps to learn, no choreography to follow, and absolutely no way to get it wrong. Melanie guides you through the movement, but how you interpret it is entirely your own. It's a space to explore your creativity, express yourself freely, and feel completely safe doing it.
What makes Groove truly special is the way it holds you and the group together. You move as one - a shared, united experience - while every single person's expression is completely individual. It's the same music, the same moment, but your body tells its own story.
And the music?
Expect everything. Rock, pop, disco, Latin, reggae, tribal house, meditative flows and more - a rich and surprising journey through genres and rhythms that will take you places you didn't expect. One moment you're flowing gently through the trees, the next you're full-on dancing in a forest clearing with a massive grin on your face. That's Groove.
It is accessible to everyone - whatever your age, fitness level, or relationship with dance. If you can move, you can Groove.
We'll also have time to explore the woodland trails, enjoy a relaxed break together, and soak up the magic of simply being in the trees.
Expect joyful movement, the power of place, and the extraordinary feeling of dancing in a forest with music only you can hear.
A day of movement, connection, and dancing in nature.
