The vision: To create a recurring home for dancers to jam. to make this a sustainable, co-hosted series with different collectives each event, connecting movers with DJs, space to chat, share a meal, and go from there!
💡 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.
Following your feedback: You wanted more ventilation, so we are getting more fans!!
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.
