GROOVE THERAPY
Science tells us that dancing boosts memory, reduces stress, improves mood, and lights up the brain in ways that few other activities do. But beyond the neuroscience, there’s something deeper: dance reminds us we belong to each other. In a time where public discourse is poisoned by polarisation and fear, and where algorithms profit from […]
It’s my birthday month, let’s dance. This playlist is my sonic gift to anyone feeling wrung out but still ready to show up: for themselves, for their loved ones, and for their community. It starts with chilled, steady, pulsing melodies before the BPM builds to a full-on heart-thumping, boisterously rhythmic bounce. This isn’t escapism. It’s […]
Hullo and welcome to the thousands of new subscribers we’ve amassed in the last year or so. In the last decade or so, since Groove Therapy’s birth, we’ve shared hundreds of playlists. To welcome our new friends, we’ve decided to start releasing some of the archived playlists every second month. Here’s a particularly bouncy house […]
Anyone else need to brace for impact whenever a news headline rolls in? When the world seems to be choking on its own brutality, don’t you dare spiral into despair.

I promise I’m totally ok – I’m great in fact – but I’m staunchly protective […]
Aussie winter is here, which means we’re in need of music that gets our temperature up in our draughty terrace homes right? To those of you who have been coming to our Sydney weekly classes, this music lends itself to some GREAT isolations, footwork and exploration of textures. If none of the above made sense […]
Dance class expands your movement vocabulary for all those times you’re expressing yourself in the privacy of your lounge room. As for the scenarios you’re making up – like being Usher’s back-up dancer at the Superbowl halftime show or running into your ex whilst you are absolutely tearing up the dance floor – go low, […]
Vanessa here with your second volume of our Mood Booster Playlist series. This month, I ask that you perhaps think about performative dance vs therapeutic dance. Rather than thinking of the performative elements of dance – how your body looks or how well you’ve executed the techniques you’ve learnt in class – think about the […]
