What is it? Exactly what it says on the tin – music, movement, connection.
Join us for an afternoon of grooving: an Open Jam for anyone who wants to move, meet people, share , groove or simply soak up the vibes. An opportunity to move outside the studio, away from competitions – a welcoming space for play, creativity, self-expression, and community.
Expect:
- Live DJs from across Scotland (and beyond…)
- Space to move, watch, meet new people, and share your own style
- Opportunities for showcases A chance to showcase works-in-progress or just freestyle to the beat
- Post-jam community dinner – because sharing food is as important as sharing the dance floor
The idea: This isn’t a new concept – it’s a 'revival'. Hoping to bringing back the social, collaborative, energy that makes the dance scene thrive. Facilitated by Dorine Mugisha, in collaboration with The Dive Bar who over the years have been supporting with our other events such as Body Movement Weekender and Whacking Weekender, and in collaboration with various collectives and individuals.
The vision: to make this a sustainable, co-hosted series with different collectives each month, connecting movers with DJs, space to also chat, and what better way than around a meal?
💡 Accessibility note: The Dive Bar is located downstairs at The Locale and there are a substantial number of stairs – unfortunately, it’s not currently wheelchair accessible.
For who: For all. Whether you are a seasoned dancer, an occasional two-stepper, or someone who just wants to feel the music, Dive Into the Groove is your invitation to connect, move, and celebrate together.
