Meditative Groove Experience: Meltem Arikan

Leave your troubles at the door & let the stress melt away on the Groove dance floor… Join Meltem for an activity that only requires you to be yourself.

The World Groove Movement inspires people worldwide to let loose and be authentic in a fun, interactive place. The Groove DANCEfloor is a dynamically interactive and creative group DANCE EXPERIENCE. With great music, we UNITE everyone in a simple movement or rhythm, but you get to DANCE IT your OWN UNIQUE way. We ENCOURAGE you to ENJOY and FEEL GOOD in your body every step along the way. Groove is a perfect recipe to nurture your soul, body, mind and heart.

People only need to bring their yoga mat or something to lie on at the end of the session (for stillness), and water.
