gets one's groove on

Hits the floor

To get one's groove on is to start dancing, enjoying music, or engaging enthusiastically in something pleasurable.

The phrase suggests finding one's rhythm and losing inhibitions: The DJ started spinning and everyone got their groove on.

It can extend beyond dancing to any activity done with energetic enjoyment.
