Annapolis Jazz & Roots Festival on Sunday, November 16 at 7 PM.
Founded in Annapolis, Footworks Percussive Dance Ensemble is a world class troupe of dancers and musicians acclaimed by critics as they enthralled audiences in North America, Europe, Scandinavia and Asia. They also continue to delight school children in performances across Maryland. Fine musicianship? Got that. Great moves? Yes indeed! This is Roots Music and dance at its best. They'll show you (and you'll be amazed to see) how our traditional "American" music is rooted in cultures from far corners of the globe.
Join Footworks in celebrating the roots and branches of Americana music and dance from the driving fiddle tunes of Appalachian clogging to the syncopated beats of tap dance and the lyricism of Irish step dance. Grownups and kids are welcome to enjoy this free performance.
"A brilliant dance troupe...with one foot in
tradition and the other in innovation."
- The Irish Echo
"A fast paced, witty and exuberant exhibition...In short, a first rate show."
- The Washington Post
