At its core, Rooted in Rhythm is a 21+ vibrant dance celebration in the Historic Westside of Las Vegas, dedicated to the pulsating rhythms of Afrobeats, Dancehall, Amapiano, and African and Black-centered music genres. But, it's so much more than that. It's a powerful conduit for change, supporting the Obodo Collective's mission to nourish the community with fresh produce and advocate for housing justice and family services.
We're creating an electrifying space in the Historic Westside where the community doesn't just gather, but thrives—engaging in meaningful conversations, supporting Obodo with their fundraising efforts all while enjoying the warmth of good company. This gathering bridges the gap between joyous celebration and impactful community support, offering a unique opportunity to connect and engage with community caretakers.
It’s Bigger Than Us.
