Chanice Holmes- Afro Grooves
Afro Grooves is a space to come as you are, connect to your inner beat, and move freely with others, grounded in the rhythms and traditions of the Afro-diaspora. This class blends cardio, play, and cultural embodiment, inviting you to unlock your inner child while honoring the energy of your elders and ancestors.
My Approach: I approach this work as a facilitator, guide, and hype woman—here to cheer you on, lift your energy, and celebrate every move. My goal is to create a space where each person can explore, experiment, and express themselves, connecting to rhythm, community, and joy while feeling fully supported and energized.
