WesGrooves Social Dance Series

WesGrooves is a new series of social dance events with a vision to create community connection through rigorous play and creative movement. Each WesGrooves event will start with an introductory dance workshop led by a visiting instructor before moving into open dancing in a joyous and party-like atmosphere to live music. No previous dance experience is necessary. Students, faculty, staff, families, and community members are encouraged to take to the dance floor together. Participants can come and go as they please—but instruction will take place at the start of the event. Light refreshments will be offered. Bring your energy and your friends, get in the groove, and learn how different dances from across the world bring people together.
