"Directed by Lesley Barovick, a classically-trained musician and mom of two, the Groove program, featuring original music and chants, free-form dance breaks, and sessions in a sunny studio with a punchy purple floor, is a welcome alternative to traditional yawn-inducing classes." Westchester Magazine

"I am a mom and a nanny. Having done every possible children’s class in Westchester over the past 30 years, I can say without a doubt that Groove is the best around! Such amazingly fun, friendly, caring, and talented staff! I look forward to class each week." Caroline C, New Rochelle

Our skilled class leaders and accompanying musicians lead and engage your family in singing, dancing, moving and grooving. We share an enormous collection of songs from family favorites to originals from the Music for Kiddos songbook. Our curated class lesson plans celebrate the world around us from swirly whirly leaves, to taking first steps, to the number of wheels on the Big Rig!
In Groove JAMS, all bodies (from infants to grands) become instruments as we clap our hands, tap our toes, stomp our feet, sing and dance. Shared instruments -- from enormous drums to tiny egg shakers -- elevate songs and chants. Shared props like our handmade rainbow streamers and colorful scarves enrich movement activities and spark the imagination. Playing, moving and grooving is completely age-appropriate during a music class and always encouraged. We always end with a much needed quiet song and a visit to play the "sharing guitar".
