Hi, I'm France Gendron! Since my early childhood I was compelled to move and dance to music Throughout my life I've explored different styles of dance and music, and learned African and Arabic drumming, which comes hand in hand with dancing. I have now found the Groove method which combines my love of great music with the freedom to dance as if no one is watching! I am thrilled to share this with you in our class.
