ROOTS AND RHYTHM: Footworks’ Summer Camp
Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts
Annapolis, MD
"Roots and Rhythm" will include fun and easy dances from
different cultures and explore
world music through singing, ensemble drumming, visual arts, and
creative improv activities.
All material is designed to be accessible and fun and is broken
down to basics and taught with
care and patience to any level of experience. The camp explores
the diversity and commonality
of the people of the United States. Songs and dances and
their histories from different cultures
are taught in a fun and inviting way, bringing students together
in rhythms and songs that
build community and connect participants to each other and to
their shared American heritage.
The last day of camp will include a pizza party for lunch and
later a culminating event called
a “Sharing” that will be open to family and friends. The “Sharing”
is not designed as a
performance, but is a fun and informal presentation that will give
the campers the opportunity
to demonstrate what they have learned and created together.
Celebrating 37 years as a professional music and dance company
that tours internationally,
Footworks Percussive Dance Ensemble brings a wealth of experience
to the creation of
summer camps. Footworks is thrilled to receive funding support
from the Arts Council of
Anne Arundel County to present this summer camp at Maryland Hall.
Youth programs
from Footworks are renowned for creating inspiring,
non-competitive and inclusive
environments for all campers. “Roots and Rhythm’s” staff will
include Founding Director
and Certified Teaching Artist Eileen Carson and Musical Director
Mark Schatz, both of whom
have received Maryland State Arts Council’s Individual Artist
Awards and “Annie” Awards
from the Arts Council of Anne Arundel County. Footworks’
rehearsal captain, Marsha Searle,
also with years of experience teaching youth, will be on staff
along with “Annie” Award
winner Elizabeth Melvin, Director of the Freedom Choir, bringing
her fun and accessible
approach to teaching ensemble drumming and singing.

What do a N.A.S.A. engineer, corporate lawyer, stay-at-home-mom and

Dance learning something you might not expect: Belly Dance. If you haven’t
belly danced before, now is the perfect time to begin. To mark Saffron Dance’s
8th year as a hub for Middle Eastern dance, Saffron is offering FREE
introductory “teaser” classes from September 15th to September 28th. These
teaser classes give students a taste of Saffron’s signature 4-week Belly Dance
Crash Course program. Created for individuals who are coming to belly dance for
the very first time, Saffron’s Crash Courses are structured and easy to follow
— absolutely no dance experience necessary! They are perfect for students to
learn the basics of Belly Dance. Each week, a new movement is introduced and
drilled, building on and incorporating elements from the prior weeks.
Particular focus is given to developing correct posture alignment, flexibility,
arm positions and paths, fundamental shimmies, basic hip accents, introductory
undulations, easy to follow traveling steps and combinations. The program
culminates in a performance opportunity so students can share their new hobby
with family and friends.
