Featuring a range of funky music old and new, Bust-A-Groove lets participants get lost in movement and fun while interacting, building self-esteem, and expressing their creative minds. Kids engage in character-building activities and dance routines that blend urban dance moves from back in the day with current dance trends they all know and love.

Since 2009, the Ottawa-based company has empowered minds and bodies of all ages, travelling across Canada and teaching thousands of youth in over 700 schools. Their mission: to enhance arts and health and physical education curriculum by encouraging students to move, groove, and have fun. Luv2Groove™ strongly believes in celebrating the fact that everyBODY can dance!
