Roots of Rhythm



In October 2013 Element Arts Company and Scanner’s Inc. joined forces to bring Shoreditch's RichMix 'Roots of Rhythm: A journey from Mambo to Hip Hop'- a spectacular evening of innovative Latin dance. We were overwhelmed by the positive feedback and emails we received, and will be bringing back a new version of this event in April 2014. We picked this out as our favourite quote:


"Big up to Kate Scanlan & Ella Mesma for an AMAZING event at Roots of Rhythm. Top quality performances, my soul feels revived. LOVED the jam equally, funky, fun n flavourful tunes moved my feet n spirit. I have not danced so freely in a long while. LOVED IT! Must also give a 'brrap brrap' to Kate Scanlan for break-dancing in what looked like 5 inch stilettos!"
