Groovember

Background

In 2017 I posted 30 daily videos, each of me freestyle dancing. Had a lot of fun and grew a lot as a dancer (my post about the experience).

Later that year I learned about “Inktober” — a social media event where throughout October, lots of people post photos of their drawings to social media and hashtag it “#inktober”. To help along, the Inktober website also publishes a list of optional prompts to help as both a nugget of inspiration and as a way to keep the experience feeling fresh.

The Plan

So this year, I wanted to do something analogous for dance. So I’m basically going to just follow the Inktober rules, except “dance” instead of “draw” and “#groovember” instead of “#inktober”.

Groovember Prompts

The only deviation from Inktober (apart from dance vs draw) is the prompts. I wanted a set of words that felt more active than the Inktober ones, so I selected 30 words at random from here.
