Footworks Percussive Dance Ensemble has been delighting audiences the world over with its bright, infectious programs of percussive dance and traditional bluegrass music. Featuring clogging from Southern Appalachia; stepdances from Ireland, England, and Canada; and hamboning, hoofin’, and early jazz tap of the American South, Footworks next season will tour its signature work, “Incredible Feets.”. The group features six dancers and three musicians who play fiddle, banjo, bass, mandolin, and guitar. A favorite of the national and international festival circuit, the company performed as guest artists in the London production of Riverdance.

 

The event has been underwritten by generous financial support from Freeport-McMoRan Copper and Gold, the Freeport McMoRan Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, Arizona Commission on the Arts, and the Graham County Community Foundation.
