Our Mission
Our Mission
We strive to create an environment filled with the joy of dance. We have an inviting and loving community where dancers of all levels are welcome with smiles and encouraging words.
We believe that a dance class is a sacred time to celebrate our bodies, minds & spirit. We encourage all learners to find a place of self-expression and -love while dancing. Many of us in our community have found that multilevel healing can begin in a dance class, and we at Groovitude Dance vow to honor that awesome journey.
Everyone is welcome. Always.

Groovitude Dance was started by Mandy Bell and Lisa Navarro in 2006. Our business partnership was propelled by our excitement to bring our love of dance and movement to all levels of dancers in the bay area with our highest value placed on co-creation and co-teaching.
For us, movement is medicine, a gateway to learning and truly one of life's most beautiful gifts. We stand on the shoulders of all our mentors and teachers and are especially grateful for experiencing the joy of movement in East Africa, Brazil, the Tohono O'Odham Nation, Argentina, NYC, Philadelphia and all throughout California.
Both Mandy and Lisa have many years of training in various styles of dance and offer classes in Jazz, Hip hop, Contemporary, Tap and pilates.
Our mission is that Dance is for everyone, not only the trained dancer. We have found we attract people of all body types, all levels, all ages, who want to be inspired and move together in celebration and gratitude. Our motto is “Dance for Life”

​​​​We are beyond thrilled to have Rebecca Rubenstein as part of the Groovitude Dance family!
She is a passionate choreographer, teacher, and lifelong dancer whose journey began at just 3 years old in Connecticut. She went on to earn her Bachelor of Arts in Modern Dance from Keene State College, and since relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2008, she has been lighting up studios and stages with her vibrant artistry and heartfelt teaching.
She brings deep experience and an infectious love of movement to every class. She’s worked with a wide range of students and companies, and finds true joy in helping each dancer tap into their unique creative spirit. Her belief is simple but powerful: the spirit of dance lives in everyone.
We feel incredibly lucky to learn from her, move with her, and witness her magic.
Come feel it for yourself!
BECKY BELL teaches semi private Pilates sessions: Here is how she feels about Teaching Pilates- It lights me up! It’s a creative adventure in discovering fresh ways to tap into the deep core strength that powers our entire bodies. Each session is a chance to awaken the inner force that’s already within us. I love the thrill of exploring new movements and playful challenges that keep every workout dynamic, engaging, and full of discovery.
