The production was a collaboration between Living Arts and House of Jit. Funded by the Joyce Foundation, Rhythm of the Feet Introduced new audiences to Detroit JIT and embrace it as a serious art form, increasing legitimacy of all street dance styles. The show displayed past, present and future sounds of rhythmic patters of Detroit JIT. At the same time it also made the connection of how Detroit JIT fits into the broader artistic spectrum of footwork styles such as tap, Chicago footwork, house, Memphis jookin, litefeet and the lindy hop. Community events endeavors to engage with fellow nonprofits and community organizations to highlight and explore culturally relevant themes, uplift Detroit artists, and be directed by community voice.
