The Groove Studio's has been a home to so many in Oakland, California for over a decade now. More than 300 dancers, a handful of teams, and amazing teachers from all over the Bay and beyond have come to Groove Studios to share their love of dance with each other. Two bay area natives, Leslie Panitchpakdi, who co-owns the studio and runs the dance team with her business partner, dancer Daniel Kang, have achieved a reputation in the hip-hop dance world for both their dedication and unique dance style. The studio holds over 25 classes each week, taught by a variety of Bay Area dancers, and hosts four dance teams. Since the Shelter In Place order, The Groove Studio's has gone above and beyond by providing online dance classes for their community!
However, like many small businesses, they have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.
If able, you can help keep In The Groove Studios a place where artists can thrive here! The Groove Studio's have pledged that any raised funds over their goal amount will go toward relief efforts for other Bay Area dance studios.
In these times, it's important that we all stay together and support our local small businesses. See other ways you can help #SupportTheBay here!
