Upcoming Programs
Drum and Dance Summer Camp
|
Rootead Enrichment Center is thrilled to be offering a new, week-long summer day camp series at which youth ages 8-18 years-old will learn a drum or dance rhythm along with the history and culture surrounding that rhythm. Students also have the option to sign up for both the drum camp and the dance camp for a full immersion into the rhythm.
This week-long day-camp is an exciting, educational, and empowering experience and concludes with a Show and Tell Day on Friday where students from the four separate groups (two age groups apiece for both the drum and dance disciplines) can share what they’ve learned with fellow students and their families at a fun outdoor BBQ event. The cost is $50-$60 per camper for each of the week-long camps and scholarships are available at https://www.rootead.org/scholarships.html |

Ongoing Programs
Lil Roots
Lil Roots has a very similar structure to RYDC. They meet twice a week for an hour and learn African dances, rhythms, songs, and history. The goal of this program is to hold space for the 8-12 year old youth who are consistent and dedicated to Rootead’s teachings.
