About Our Certification

Dance and fitness choreography have become over-complicated and intimidating for the everyday person. The GROOVE Method simplifies so that everyBODY can experience the health benefits of ridiculously fun and feel-good movement as they shimmy, shake, wiggle and dance their own dance!

The Groove Method™ is a revolutionary approach to dance, fitness and well-being programs that shifts the paradigm from “follow-the-leader” instructing to motivating and participant-centered classes.

The Groove Method™ Certification is for fitness professionals, dance instructors, yoga instructors, group-exercise instructors and anyone who want to inspire people to dance and move their body for the health of it!

*there are no pre-requisites for this certification, however a general understanding of movement and exercise principles is recommended*

The certification weekend educates instructors on how to use simple movement, amazing music and powerful cueing to facilitate an inviting space for participants to be inspired to move their bodies to foster vibrant health.

The two-day (14 hour) training implements best-practices in adult learning and education, including theory lectures (5.5 hrs), LOTS of practical application activities (6.5 hrs) as well as GROOVE demos (2hrs).
