groove: 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday through December 16 in the Big Rapids Middle School Cafeteria
GROOVE is an opportunity to develop your innate creativity and confidence. No dancing experience is needed and there is no choreography to remember. Simple steps can be done in the way that suits you and with the intensity of your choice. It’s a chance to enjoy ‘movin’ and groovin’ for all kinds of music, with the light on at the end. It is recommended to wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely and comfortable shoes. Bring water and a towel or yoga mat. Coach Janita Sawyer.
