Thanks to all our volunteers from Wild Moves for helping to form the Grooves Committee and organising these fun-filled events where you can sing, play and dance alongside professional performers. BYO your instruments or hire a drum from Wild Moves
Here is what a few people have said about Universal Grooves on the Surf Coast
Michele Barnes from Singing for Fun about
Valanga and Andrea Khoza
What a fantastic night this was. Firstly the opportunity to be up close and personal with such inspirational performers, and to experience their amazing harmonies and rhythms together. Then to be guided to join the music with my very well spent $5 hired drum, so that I could be part of the sound, was amazing. It was great too, to see others invited on stage to play guitars and other instruments. Both Valanga and Andrea showed such warmth and support for this interactive experience. Clearly they both have wonderful skills and a belief in music as a shared experience for all. Thanks to Universal grooves for bringing this rich interactive cultural experience to all of us on the Surf Coast.

Great gig on Sat nite! My family have not stopped talking about it. Wonderful participatory atmosphere created by the candles, rugs, extra instruments and of course the brilliant musicians!! I loved dancing with my kids.

Katt Beames and the SoularSKY
Universal Grooves has also been a great opportunity for young local up coming performers to experience the intimate connection with an audience and to build confidence as an artist in engaging community participation. Katt Beames has been an original Surf Coast Wild Moves drummer and dancer and has since then gone on an East Coast tour with her own band SolarSKY. Universal Grooves provides that launching ground.

Asanti dance theatre
I just love dancing with these guys. They bring their whole family and their kids can't keep off the stage. It encourages other children to join in as well. Full on high energy traditional African dance and acrobatics that you just have to hold your breath. Joining in with the drums was easy, we just had to follow Appiah. As a dancer with Wild Moves we could get up and show the Africans what we do with African dance on the Surf Coast. Great night, hope there is going to be more.
...And more there shall be with....
