Founded in 2014 by Los Angeles-based educators Gracie Whyte and Laura Berg, Ground Grooves is a methodical, longevity-oriented approach to contemporary dance and floorwork designed for movers of all levels. Built on over 25 years of combined teaching experience and developed through decades of training, personal injury, and experimentation, the Ground Grooves classes emphasizes fluid, continuous movement with a focus on mindful, safe patterns that absorb impact with ease. Since its founding, the class has been taught across 18+ countries, offered at 15+ universities worldwide, and grown a global online studio community with members from over 70 countries. Gracie and Laura are also published authors, lead worldwide tours, and teach Grounded Ballet and Contemporary — bringing the same spirit of curiosity, safety, and joy to everything they share.
