groovers
People who dance
Groovers is the plural of groover—someone who grooves, meaning someone who enjoys music, dances well, or moves through life with easy rhythm and style.
The term peaked in 1960s and 70s counterculture but now sounds dated or ironic: The old groovers still show up at the jazz club every Saturday night.
