Groove Chorus
Not Your Average Choir!
The Groove Chorus is your happy place. A chance to sing with incredible musicians, challenge yourself, and make great friends along the way. You will groove to iconic dance music inspired by queer culture from the 1970s to the present day. Each arrangement is seasoned with an eight-piece professional band to add extra spice!
Groove Chorus provides an opportunity to get away from the stresses of work or studies and feel like the main character! There's no audition process to join in – this is aimed at people who studied singing at school, college or university but let adulthood get in the way of pursuing it further. Some participants read music fluently, others not at all.

People Say ...
Just wanted to share how much I enjoyed the improv classwith Polina this Thursday! She’s such a lively and inspiring teacher – really made everyone feel welcome. We did tons of different activities, and it was all so much fun. Honestly, for the price, it’s a steal. Whether you’re a total beginner or just looking for a fun evening, I’d highly recommend checking it out! - Thomas
Had such a blast at this improv class! Polina brought so much amazing energy – she kept the vibe super positive and engaging the whole time. I laughed so much and left feeling energized. If you're even a little curious, just go for it. Highly recommend! - Maxime
