Be the Groove is a rhythmic performance ensemble that believes rhythm is not just a beat—rhythm is a mode of expression. This Chicago based group fuses a variety of movement, percussion, and rhythmic techniques to create a unique style of its own. Through high-energy performances and a strong commitment to education, Be the Groove seeks to share its love of rhythm with people everywhere.
Formed in 2006 by Artistic Director Stephanie Paul and Executive Director Davora Sides, Be the Groove has quickly established a reputation for entertaining audiences in the Chicago dance and arts community. The ensemble has performed at such venues as Millenium Parks Pritzker Pavilion, Ravinia, Old Town School of Folk Music, and festivals including, Dance Chicago, Chicago Human Rhythm Projects Windy City Rhythms and the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival. In addition to these public celebrations, throughout the year Be the Groove can be spotted locally at various schools, dance studios and camps engaging audiences of all ages with interactive performances and educational workshops that meld percussion and movement.

Be the Groove has also built a significant resume performing in private and corporate events including the International Home and Housewares Show at McCormick Place, NeoCons World Trade Show at Merchandise Mart and Sara Lees National Sales Conference.
