Reader's Digest ３・４月合併号の記事 "Let's DANCE!" からの引用です。
Wearing all black and sitting on a tufted white ottoman in her sunlit living room, Sarah Robichaud is teaching a routine inspired by modern ballet to 80 students on Zoom. The Bolshoi-trained dancer spreads her arm wide in exaggerated movements to a slow cover of The Proclaimers' "I'm Gonna Be (500 miles)" as her students get into the groove.
"get into the groove" の項目はありませんでしたが、"groove" の項で次の説明がありました。
・Wiktionary: (dated, informal) A good feeling (often as in the groove).
・Urban Dictionary: have passion about doing something and feel motivated to get it done: get into the groove of writing this paper
・Vocabulary.com: A groove is an indentation or rut in something — like the grooves on an old record.
Groove is rooted in an old Dutch word for "furrow" or "ditch." And that's just what a groove is: a carved out line, like wheel ruts in a muddy road or the narrow opening that a sliding door moves in. If you can't "find your groove," you feel off track and out of whack. But when you're "in the groove," everything is working smoothly and you've found a good routine. And if someone says "let's groove!", they want to dance.
