From the reviews
We love Rootz! Our children have taken a variety of classes here throughout the last several years and we've had a wonderful experience. Lisa is very helpful, friendly, and has great communication. Miss Jordyn is a true gem and has taught dance to our daughters since they could walk.
Classes at Rootz are the highlight of my daughter's week!! This year she was enrolled in two classes and one turned out to be not a great fit because all the other dancers were much younger than her. So the team at Rootz helped us find a better fit for her and now she's thriving in both the classes she's taking.
We've had such a wonderful experience at Rootz over the last few years. The instructors and staff are amazing and talented, and they've created such a warm and welcoming environment for our children. Lisa, Jordyn, and Rory are a big reason why my daughters love it there so much!
My kids have been taking classes at Rootz since it opened its doors. There is a wide variety of class options - my kids often joke that they live there! Rootz is a nurturing, encouraging and happy environment! The staff is very approachable and accommodating.
Your first ballet class at Rootz - Dance, Theater, Enrichment, Fitness, Camps and More!
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
