About Rhythm of the People

Rhythm of The People aims to create opportunities for people to move, gather, and remember another way of being together. Moments where people can reconnect with themselves, with one another, and with traditions that still have something to teach us. Through arts + dance events, classes, and public programming, we bring people together through shared experience. Our work is rooted in Black and Brown social dance traditions and Asian contemplative practices that have been carried across generations as ways of gathering, celebrating, and understanding ourselves. We aim to hold these practices—and the people who carry them—with gratitude, humility, and care. ROTP is driven by the collective energy of many people. Its direction is shaped by the conversations, teachings, and experiences of those who have poured into this work – and into us. We thank our elders, peers, culture bearers, and community leaders. This work did not begin with us and is not ours alone to define. – ROTP
