Be the Groove is a rhythmic performance ensemble that believes rhythm is not just a beat—rhythm is a mode of expression. This Chicago based group fuses a variety of movement, percussion, and rhythmic techniques to create a unique style of its own. Through high-energy performances and a strong commitment to education, Be the Groove seeks to share its love of rhythm with people everywhere.
Formed in 2006 by Artistic Director Stephanie Paul and Executive Director Davora Sides, Be the Groove has quickly established a reputation for entertaining audiences in the Chicago dance and arts community and has performed at such venues as the Ravinia Festival, Old Town School of Folk Music, and Dance Chicago. In addition, Be the Groove has built a significant resume performing in corporate venues including the International Home and Housewares Show at McCormick Place, NeoCon's World Trade Show at Merchandise Mart and Sara Lee's National Sales Conference.
Ensemble members are on staff at various music and dance schools in the Chicago area, and Be the Groove is available to bring workshops to you. We invite you to join us for a show and experience the groove with us!
