The Rhythm Ryders came into existence in 2009 as a result of an invitation to throw a party.  Easy as that.  The core members already had a weekly set that they'd termed "Rhythm Ryding" and the name just carried over.  The Rhythm Ryders hosted their first event A "Simply Chique" Weekend Affair in January 2010 and it was a huge success.  After the party it was time to sit down and decide - what, if any, was the future of the Rhythm Ryders….  As the group continued to develop, as well as the members, we have formulated a mission statement to encompass our desires and beliefs.

And it came to be...

Our mission is to teach and promote self expression through social dance, opportunities of connection and education with community organizations to foster a balanced life by...

- providing uplifting opportunities to socialize and learn
- assisting individuals in building confidence through dance
- exposing the community to the benefits of social dance
- providing educational opportunities to increase personal knowledge and utilize learned skills

We are all about self-development, self-awareness, and growing the social community in Akron, Ohio. Dancing and Chicago Steppin' is one of our passions.  
See you on the floor!
