Join us for a vibrant two-day celebration of dance, music, and community. This immersive gathering brings together artists, musicians, dancers, and enthusiasts for a weekend filled with engaging workshops, cultural exchange, and live performances.

Participants can explore a variety of dance and music workshops led by experienced instructors, browse unique offerings from local and regional vendors, and connect with fellow artists and community members. Saturday evening features inspiring showcases highlighting the talents of dancers from traditional expressions to contemporary fusion performances.

Musicians are encouraged to bring their instruments and join in open mic performances and informal jam sessions throughout the weekend. These collaborative gatherings provide opportunities to share music, exchange ideas, learn from one another, and create spontaneous moments of artistry and connection.

Whether you are a seasoned performer, a curious beginner, or simply someone who appreciates live art and culture, this gathering offers opportunities to learn, create, and celebrate the powerful connection between music and movement.

We want this gathering to be an opportunity not only to attend, but to participate, connect, and contribute. Those interested in performing in the Rooted Showcase will receive priority consideration when they participate in one or more workshops.
