We provide great dance learning experience
That's how big we are in Ireland now. We are also have locations in India, UK and Germany
We love competitions and teaching. If you are interested to join a fresh team with great spirit for dance
We believe dance is a language. After spending several years in learning dance, we understood the importance of teaching and came out with best teaching programs and structure to help students to understand the movements, history and foundation. We put our heart in teaching as we are so passionate about dancing and wish to teach the students to get the real essence of dancing in their body and acknowledging the beauty of it.
United Grooves Dance school, Europe was found in 2021 and run by Ramakrishnan AKA Bubblelock. He ran classes in Portarlington, Portlaoise, Tullamore and Dublin. In 2023, the dance school faculty members have increased and we are looking to run more classes in Dublin. United grooves has a education model by separating its core team ( Known as BFAB dance crew) to focus on competitions and performance while these core members run classes and also bring guest teachers to teach and share their knowledge in their area of expertise.
We are a community based Dance School. We believe community is the best tool to create change and benefit every one in the community. We use dance as a tool to drive changes in the community and help every one in the community benefit from dance and improve mental health. We believe that dance is for every one. We involve in projects that create changes in the community for good. We volunteer in teaching classes for autistic children and individuals with special needs.
We teach dance foundation that will help in picking up any non clasical dance forms. Our casses will be filled with dance styles like Hiphop, Locking, Popping, House. At the moment we do beginner and intermediate level dance classes with mix of all dance styles mentioned above. As we grow in numbers we are trying to focus on more styles and style based classes for our students.
Amazing teacher and super person. My daughter joined Bubblelocks dance classes this year and she is so much more confident expressing herself both at home and in particular in front of the crowd. Bubblelock has an incredible way with the kids and they listen to every word he says. I would highly recommend to anyone.
