Reclaiming Our Roots (ROR) is a powerful dance performance by Rooted Movement Collective that traces American history through the lens of African American social dance. Blending movement, music and storytelling, the show invites audiences to reflect on resilience, cultural legacy and the stories that shape us all.

Part performance and part interactive workshop, Reclaiming Our Roots examines how people have used dance to challenge, overcome and change their circumstances in an unjust world.

The show takes its audience from the shores of West African ring shout dances to the plantation dances of Hambone, Juba, and Cakewalk, then up north to Jazz dance, Disco and Breaking, and finally to the West Coast for Hip Hop. The viewers are encouraged to become participants throughout the performance, and find their own rhythm as they learn

All abilities are welcome. For disability accommodations, call 479.856.7170 or email kidsquestions@faylib.org 2-3 weekdays before a program.
