Since 2015, the dance and musical collective, founded by Artistic Director Mai Lê Hô, has highlighted under-recognized freestyle dance and music voices in the traditional performing arts landscape. LayeRhythm provides entertainment, community building, eductaion in cultural history, preservation of street/club dance forms, and a support system for emotional and social well-being. LayeRhythm dedicates itself to risk-taking improvisation and interactive audience engagement through performances and events.

At The Church, the public was invited to join an 'Open Rehearsal' as the group prepared for an interactive 'Dance Jam Session' at The Church the following week and as they prepared for their Performance at the Guggenheim's Works & Process Underground Uptown Dance Festival: LayRhythm (On The Move) with Masterz at Work.

At the 'Dance Jam Session' the audience served up ideas and inspiration for the dancers, MC's, and musicians and together an experience was created with live moments, sounds, and improvised lyrics which built up the energy and then welcomed everyone to the dance floor.
