Residency Description Roots and Rhythm presents traditional music and dance activities in an accessible, positive, constructive, and fun way, with an approach designed to bring students together to build community while connecting them to each other and their culture. The learning sequences develop motor and communication skills as well as instruct students how to focus, follow directions, and work with others. Every individual will understand that they are an important part of the whole. Workshops include percussive dance, singing, hamboning, and improvisational exercises.Reference Name: Alison Bordelly
