From the reviews
My child's experience has been amazing at Rootz. When a child has autism, it is sometimes hard to see if they are understanding what they are being taught. Over a short time it has been very exciting to see these classes expand her world.
We had such a fantastic experience with this theater class! From the moment we walked in, the environment was incredibly inviting and low-pressure, which was exactly what my 7-year-olds needed. Miss Stacey is remarkably upbeat and has a natural gift for making every child feel welcome.
Rootz has been an integral part of our daughter's growth and enthusiasm for dance at such a young age! Miss Jordyn, Miss Stacey, and Miss Bailey are nurturing, joyful, and engaging.
I cannot say enough positive things about Rootz. The teachers are engaging, kind, and enthusiastic. My daughters look forward to going to their gymnastics class every week and I feel comfortable and secure dropping them off weekly, which is very important as a mother.
Your first ballet class at Rootz - Dance, Theater, Fitness & 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.
