Groov'n the Rocks Welcome to Groov'n the Rocks, Canmore's only West African & Hip Hop dance classes for those who have two left feet and a fun attitude.

GROOV'N THE ROCKS offers West African and Hip Hop dance classes in Canmore, Alberta to adults and youth with little to no experience. Dance is a fun way to move and get a good workout. Taught by Renee Krysko, dance steps are introduced so that students learn them easily. Renee also provides multiple options so that everyone can work at their own level. Renee focuses on teaching the fundamentals of each dance style so her students understand both the dance moves and culture behind these art forms. Check back to this page to learn about all upcoming classes. RENEE'S DANCE BACKGROUND
Renee Krysko has been dancing for over 30 years and teaching for the last 20. After studying various forms of dance from jazz, tap and ballet and participating in dance competitions and dance companies, Renee focused on a more vernacular style of dance. Funk, Hip Hop and West African became her new focus. Renee has studied various Hip Hop styles and continues to learn more about this culture. She also studied West African in Guinea, and pursued her West African teaching practicum with Michel Moss at Decidedly Jazz Danceworks.
