Hello party people! Sorry for the delay in writing...it's been definitely quite some time since I last wrote on here. Things have been pretty busy these last few months. I actually started to write a blog after finishing our last week of workshops in schools back in June, but never sent it. So here it is (written at the end of June).


Thank you….see you next Fall!
What a busy yet amazing school year! Luv2Groove taught close to 1000 workshops this year! I finally finshed my Master’s in Education and Raul (a.k.a Mr. RA) finished his Registered Massage Therapy certification. We are very excited to finally be devoting all our energy to building Luv2Groove and expanding to other parts of Canada, not to mention we will be running 5 weeks of summer camps!


On top of a successful year, we were awarded an “Artist in Education” grant from the Ontario Arts Council, giving Luv2Groove the opportunity to teach 5 one-week dance workshops in schools at a subsidized cost. We were also awarded the Majory Loughrey Artists in Schools award from the Ottawa Carleton-District School board to teach a one week dance residency at Queen Elizabeth Public School in the fall.

We are truly grateful and blessed to be recognized as Ottawa's leading dance educators and look forward to continuing the growth and development for dance education in Canada. That being said...

Luv2Groove has started a program in which we will give back to the community by offering free workshops and sending kids to camp for free this summer through our community outreach programs. For 5 weeks this summer, Raul and I are will be running summer camps in 5 different locations around Ottawa. 

Back to now (July 30th)....

We are on our 5th week of camp and it has been an amazing journey! We dance, play, swim, design hip hop hats, tye dye clothing and perform at the end of the week by showing off all our creative work.
Raul and I are so proud of everyone for expanding their minds and bodies through dance and art. We could not have asked for a better summer including the amazing whether we have had! Here are some shots from camp!







































Stay tuned for new updates to our website and new programs in schools! We are looking forward to the fall, but first we need to rejuvenate our souls with a little R & R somewhere South! 

See you soon, 
One Luv.
