American Rhythm delivers dynamic, hour-long traditional performances set to live music at international folk festivals worldwide. In less traditional settings, we blend our classic repertoire with contemporary numbers when appropriate, ensuring a versatile and engaging show.
Our performances pay homage to cultural roots while captivating audiences with high-energy entertainment. Among our elite ensemble are some of the nation’s finest cloggers, along with dancers trained in regional and national folk styles. This allows us to present a comprehensive and authentic showcase of traditional American dance.
Our diverse repertoire spans the rich history of the United States, featuring Pioneer songs and dances from Utah, the lively Appalachian Running Set paired with Hambone, a stirring Civil War Medley, the vibrant 1920s Charleston, the spirited 1940s Lindy Swing, and a Western Suite complete with Cowboy Yodeling. Audiences can also enjoy a Country Hoedown, Live Bluegrass Music, Contra Dance, Square Dance, and a wide array of clogging styles.
