About Roots Studios

Roots Studios, established in 2019 in Aurora, Colorado, is a vibrant dance center dedicated to fostering a welcoming and encouraging community for dancers of all backgrounds and aspirations. Under the passionate guidance of directors Amy Gard and Kate Mina, the studio views dance as more than just movement—it's an outlet, a source of inspiration, and a safe haven. We aim to provide well-rounded dance training, leaving an indelible mark on our students' souls. Roots Studios offers a diverse range of dance classes for all ages and skill levels, nurturing technical and performance skills across a varied program. Our curriculum includes foundational styles like Ballet and Jazz, essential for many dancers, alongside popular genres such as Hip Hop and Tap. Students can also explore the expressive forms of Lyrical, Contemporary, Acrobatics, Modern, and Musical Theater. Class levels are thoughtfully designed from Creative Movement for the youngest dancers (ages 2-4) to advanced levels for serious students. Our talented faculty, including instructors like Amy Gard, Kate Mina, Mary Davis, Kenny Allen, Lizzie Reese, AJ Lukenbill, Julia Galloway, Rachel Carter, Natalie Weaver, Sammie Harper, Kaylie Lambert, Alessa Franks, Cali Abts, and Erica Boland, many of whom bring extensive professional experience, are committed to nurturing passion and guiding young dancers on their artistic journeys. Company members have specific requirements to foster their development, and we offer opportunities for both recreational and competitive growth. Roots Studios is also gearing up for exciting Summer 2026 with intensive programs, Audition Prep classes, Roots Company Auditions, Summer Camps, and Summer Mini Sessions, providing engaging and fun experiences for all.
