Voulez Groove Explained ππ»ββοΈ
AE DANCE + FITNESSVoulez Groove 2026 - Explained!Voulez Groove is our BIG dance show coming up on Fri 19 and Sat 20 June 2026. We will start rehearsing for it, in normal class time, from 20 April. Most classes will perform - you can see which ones in the list here. But it is totally not mandatory to perform! You are super welcome to come along to classes as normal even if you can't make show weekend. AND we will also be putting on specific non-show classes in May/June time for non-show dancers. Understanding the show format...There will be 3 shows - 1x Friday evening, 1x Saturday lunchtime, 1x Saturday early evening. Importantly, different routines will feature in different shows - you can read all about that here (on the groups tab). Or watch this video (probably more helpful). Getting more details...The main "resource" where you'll find ALL the Voulez Groove info is this Google doc - the Holy Grail. If you have a question and this doc doesn't answer it...something's gone wrong! Noting down key dates...Important thing to note above:
Signing up...To sign up to dance in Voulez Groove 2026 you need to do the following 3 things before 9 May (but ideally by the end of April)...
Each of the above is super important. You need to have completed all 3 by 9 May to be a part of Voulez Groove 2026. "Should I take part...?"Abso-bloody-lutely! These big shows are the highlight of the dancing calendar and SUCH a lovely way to get to stuck into the community, celebrate each other and celebrate yourself! (Plus get your fam and friends to do the same). Building show routines and putting a show is a big feat - there will be so many moments of laughter and success. And also challenging moments too when you're battling nerves and working hard to pick up new choreo. But when you actually get on that stage and SHINE BRIGHT LIKE THE STAR THAT YOU ARE - that experience is magic. And the kind of thing we don't get to do that much as adults, especially if in your day job you're doctoring/teaching/parenting/normally 9-5 stuffing! So if you're not sure whether the dance show is for you or not, this is your sign to say it is. Any questions at all, check the resources above. And if that doesn't answer it...we've done something wrong so feel free to email us!! Right...shall we put on a show then?!?! See you in the studio!

AE DANCE + FITNESS Hey dance fam, Coming to you today, still smiling to myself thinking back to the giggles and triumph of the Choreo Show last week (recommended viewing).

AE DANCE + FITNESS Throwback to our first ever show in June 2019 - a few familiar faces in there! Fantastic shorts. Terrible poses. "We currently have 3 shows on the horizon" I've never been able to say that before. 3 of our own shows - dates set, venues booked, tickets on sale (well, for 2 of the 3 at least)! I still remember the conversation at Bristol Improv Theatre, in October 2018, when I first decided "yep, I reckon we're big enough to put on your own show now". Some of you were...
