Hi friends!

As you may have noticed, RiM has been on a hiatus as of late. I fully acknowledge RiM's missing presence and apologize for the lack of workshops in the past half year. I feel that the Chicago dance community is undergoing some positive changes and dancers are supporting in new and positive ways. With that being said I thought it would be professional to just publically announce stepping back from the community. I am so, so, so thankful for all of the support RiM has received over the past couple of years. RiM ever existing is a dream come true. If you're ever interested in making a difference and want some support, message us and we will do everything in our power to help you.

A very successful Rooted in Motion Holiday workshop! Thanks to all who attended and all who supported. Time to bring over 100 toys to kids these holidays!

Hi, Keenan from RiM here. I just wanted to explain RiM's absence from the dance community. I'm closing out my final semester of university and wanted to make sure I was giving Rooted in Motion all the attention it deserves. I hope that all of RiM's supporters are still very much interested in our mission. Please stay tuned in this December as we start up again with our Holiday Toy Workshop!

Thanks for your time and patience 😁

Hello friends!

We just wanted to say a huge thanks for all the support we've received over the past year and a half. All the workshop attendees. All the social media plugging. All of the donations and artistic contributions. It has made this organization a reality.

Moving forward we want to remain interested in giving back and also supporting the interests of our supporters. If YOU are a teacher interested in supporting a cause... CONTACT US! We'd love to support your interests, because that is exactly what you have done for us.

Thank you,
Rooted in Motion
