Let’s Get Groovy!
Authentic: Grooves is happy to welcome new dancers to get groovy with. The traditional audition setting is not really our jam, so we invite you to join us in the studio for class to see how we work and create.
Authentic: Grooves is a contemporary-based dance company with a holistic approach to movement that honors and celebrates the individual artistic voice of each Company Member.
Participation in class and the creative process will serve as your “audition” for future performances and community-based opportunities with Authentic: Grooves. Interested individuals will work alongside current company members as we develop/evolve material for the projects we are currently working on.
Interested individuals should contact Artistic Director, Jamie Carr for details. We look forward to moving with you!
