Roots, Rhythm & Rhyme is a year long community outreach program for youth incorporating our Roots, Rhythm and Rhyme. It is comprised of after-school and Saturday classes, both on-site at the Global Education Center and off-site at various schools and community organizations, offering drum and dance from around the world. The summer session is our annual Summer Multicultural Arts Camp in which students study drum, dance and traditional arts from close to thirty cultures - one of the most fun components of the program. Roots, Rhythm & Rhyme is made possible with project support from the Tennessee Arts Commission, National Endowment for the Arts, and The Nissan Foundation. STAY TUNED FOR SUMMER CAMP 2026 SCHEDULE which, for the first time, will be a half-day camp rather than full day.

The RHYMES of the program come from storytelling of the many cultures that are shared during classes and taught in the learning of traditions of dance, music and poetry that help participants to express their own cultural identity and have understanding and respect for others.

|
The ROOTS of the program come from our diversity in cultures to which students are introduced and that we celebrate every day at Global Education Center. Each class is taught by an instructor who not only teaches the art form aesthetically but also academically to immerse each participant in a new culture and an experience to become aware of our similarities rather than our differences.

The RHYTHMS of the program come from the live music, dancing and drumming from Global Education Center's classes for children that vary from Capoeira, Latin and Afro Dance, Creative Movement, World Percussion and so much more for ages 3 - through teens.
