User:Stratton111/Jerome's Dance Grooves

Jerome's Dance Grooves began in the summer of 1972 in Brooklyn, NY. Legendary bassist Jerome Thomas gave up playing weddings and joined forces with drummer Regan Fields, thus creating the first incarnation of Jerome's Dance Grooves. The duo became very popular with the underground Splink (a rare form of dance found only in Brooklyn) scene, and eventually were offered record deals. Jerome declined the deals and instead began franchising chapters of JDG around the country. Each chapter is auditioned before Jerome and Regan and only seven duos (3 active) have been accepted. Each duo donates 70% of their annual income to Jerome.
