The introductory course for people who are convinced they can't dance.

Your instructor, Vanessa Marian, will cover the absolute basics, beginning with fundamentals on how to isolate, bounce, groove and body roll. Celebrate the end of each module by putting your new skills together in a little mini-combo.

I feel empowered

The Groove Therapy weekly classes have been on my to-do list for over a year but I haven't been able to work up the balls! With the online course, I've felt like I could build up the skills and then feel empowered to attend a real life class.

A great mental health boost

The Groove Therapy online classes have been the best mental health break that I can access anywhere and anytime. Picking up great moves whilst looking after myself is the best cherry on the self-care cupcake!

I can dance from anywhere

Living on the other side of the world had me feeling massive FOMO for the Groove Therapy classes back home. But now I get a nice slice of good vibes in my U.K living room whenever I want. Plus what better way to stay warm and shake the winter blues, than shaking your booty?

So throughout my life, I've trained across New York, Paris, Berlin, London, Tokyo, Australia, Brazil and my purple bedroom. In a nutshell, my professional dance credits include an Adidas sponsorship and movement direction for Victoria's Secret, Nike, Bonds, G-star RAW and MTV. But look, in all honesty, I really just dance for my mental wellbeing. So in 2016 I hired out a small community hall with no mirrors, dimmed the lights and held a beginners dance class. Turns out people liked it because that little community class has now grown into an international movement. Crazy. So now, I want to level up with this online series and spread the groove further. This isn't about working within the world of professional dancers, it's about making the brilliance of dance open to all walks of life. It's never too late to start learning. I hope you'll join the fam. Stay updated via my instagram @vanessamarian_
