kept everyone warm for days!!

Kwikstep has launched a Go Fund Me fundraising
campaign to sustain "Behind The Groove's" monthly dance event
campaign to sustain "Behind The Groove's" monthly dance event
overhead expenses. It takes a village...
Our village is made up of dancers--some are NY'ers and some
are not. But they all need a space to work out their dance moves
and Behind The Groove has been it. A safe space where
the songs inspire spontaneity and mastery. At a time when NYC bars and clubs deter dancing,
Behind The Groove welcomes and embraces the original
NYC ambiance of the dance scene. We even offer
non alcoholic drinks so dancers can re energize and groove til the last song.
Birthdays, engagements, exhibition battles, musician mash ups,
a classic dance song anniversary and DJ royalty making guest appearances
are of few of the milestones defining how
this monthly non top-40 open format dance party has opened its doors to the dance community.
Please make a donation so we can keep the beat going.. even if it is a small
donation .... BTG will reach its 5th year and beyond!
