Disclosure: As a Get in the Groove blogger, the following content has been sponsored by State Farm®.
This giveaway has been extended. It now ends on June 14th (this is to encourage more people to enter the Instagram contest).
If you know anything about me, then you understand that I like to get my groove on and dance whenever and wherever the need strikes.
Which is why I am happy to be sharing this opportunity with you guys. It merges dancing and showing off your life’s highlights while giving you the chance to win a trip to the 2015 ESSENCE Festival®. One of my favorite events, the Essence Fest is a must-attend fete. I got the chance to go last year and now it has become a staple in my summer plans. It is that fabulous!
So here’s what you need to do. By sharing your Get in the Groove moves via Instagram alongside using the hashtags #StateFarmGroove and #ContestEntry, you will be entered for a chance to win a trip to the 2015 ESSENCE Festival® in New Orleans. These moves should be inspired by significant life moments that make you want to get up and shimmy. See below for details on how to enter.
My entry shows me getting my dance on while thinking of this year’s highlight of my son turning 21. We went through a lot to get to where we are right now, so I can’t help but break out in dance when I think of how much we have overcome. He’s now in Los Angeles living his life, and I can also rejoice for having one out of the house (just one more to go!). I am also two-stepping because I turn 40 this year, which is also HUGE. Some people call it midlife, but I finally feel like I have hit my groove–literally. I am looking forward to hitting this milestone, so dancing is in order.
You can see my video below. Check out my moves!
So get your entry on by sharing your video to The Gram using #StateFarmGroove and #ContestEntry alongside your description. Then upload your photos through the official #StateFarmGroove website here. One (1) winner will receive the following:
