We’re back. We’re creating. We’re throwing out ideas. We’re building new material.

And apparently… everyone has notes. 😂

Wouldn’t have it any other way. 🫶

New school year = NEW PHOTOSHOOT 📸✨

Meet the crew behind Luv2Groove! 👯‍♀️🕺

16 years of making people MOVE — in schools, at birthday parties, summer camps, special events & everywhere in between! 🎉

The faces behind the workshops, the dance parties, the chaos, the laughs… and A LOT of dancing. 😂💃

Here’s to another year of doing what we love! ❤️

After 16 years of teaching dance in schools, we’ve learned one thing for sure…

It’s not just about how good you are at teaching dance. It’s about how well you can engage your students.

A school gym is a completely different environment from a traditional dance studio. You might have 60+ students with different abilities, confidence levels, learning styles and experiences—and your job is to make every single one of them feel like they belong.

That’s what we’ve spent 16 years refining. 💃🕺

How to keep students moving and engaged.
How to make dance accessible to everyone.
How to create activities that build confidence, creativity and connection.
And how to make sure students are having FUN while they learn.

Because we’re not just teaching steps.

We’re creating experiences where students move, create, connect and discover what they’re capable of.

To all the educators getting ready for another school year—we can’t wait to be back in your gyms! ❤️

School is back. Let’s GROOVE!!!

🎤 We mic’d up Miss Emma at camp and… honestly, the footage did NOT disappoint. 😂

Oreo’s falling. Water spilling. Parkour highlights. Absolute chaos.

Meanwhile, Miss Emma: calmly managing the room like the professional she is. 👏😂

The laughs are great, but what you don’t always see is what an incredible dance educator she is and how much of an impact she has on her students.

We’re lucky to have you, Miss Emma! 🫶

🚨 Before you book just ANY school program this year… ask yourself these 3 questions.

Is it going to get students moving, creating, participating and building confidence? 🙌

Will teachers be able to step back, enjoy the experience and see their students in a whole new way? ✨

And can it actually work in a REAL school environment — whether you have 15 students… or 60 students in one gym?

At Luv2Groove, we’ve spent 16+ years bringing dance education directly into schools, designing programs that combine movement, creativity and learning in a way that works for real students, real teachers and real school spaces.

We believe dance should be for everyBODY — every age, ability and experience level. Our programs create a safe, supportive environment where students can build confidence, creativity and a sense of accomplishment while having an absolute blast. 💛

Because when students feel comfortable participating, willing to try something new, and proud of what they can do — they leave feeling good about themselves and what they accomplished.

🎶 MOVE. GROOVE. HAVE FUN.
