The Slyboots School of Music, Art and Dance Head Quarters is hiding in plain sight in Buffalo, NY and has proudly served the music, dance and art communities in WNY and CNY over the past decade, on the sly. First and foremost renowned for their world music and dance educational tours, workshops, private instruction and international "Adventure Abroad" programs, this grassroots operation made a name for itself in the Upstate New York Festival scene with their annual fundraiser, SLYFEST– a 3 day camping extravaganza featuring live music, art installations, workshops, YOGA, swimming and so much more. The Slyboots Circus (the featured resident ensemble at the Slyboots School) can also be found at a wide variety of music festivals, colleges, universities and schools across the country delivering an inspired blend of circus arts, world music and dance designed to educate, entertain and inspire. In 2019 the Slyboots School completed their 12th international tour with the SAAKUMU Dance Troupe from Ghana, West Africa- performing at colleges and universities, clubs and schools all over the country. Slyboots has helped to expose an estimated 40,000 students to cultural arts programming EVERY year since 2006– that’s a lot of lives inspired, on the sly.
