Yolanda Thomas
Founder & DIRECTOR
Yolanda Thomas is the founder/director of Groove Zone and the creator of its signature Absolute Beginner Hip Hop program for adults. Originally from Sydney, Australia, she has taught over 100,000 students in person and is known for making dance accessible, supportive, and genuinely fun for complete beginners.
After more than a decade teaching adults, Yolanda realized most people who wanted to dance were too intimidated to even walk into a beginner class. She developed the Groove Zone method around the core grooves that form the foundation of hip hop, breaking movement down in a way that builds confidence fast.
Now based in Los Angeles, Yolanda continues to direct Groove Zone across both LA and Sydney, alongside a team of instructors trained in her teaching philosophy. Beyond dance, she is also an award-winning vocalist, performer, songwriter, choreographer, and stage performance coach.
