Roots Modern is a free, expressive style of dance that began in the early 20th century. It employs techniques for developing the use of the entire body to express concrete or abstract ideas through movement.

Roots Jazz has it's foundation in classic American technique. Warm ups, floor progressions and combinations are designed to strengthen and inspire the dancer. History is discussed and studied and our dancers will be able to demonstrate a knowledge of jazz dance in its many forms.

Roots Pointe is only offered to students enrolled in the Roots Division (Root C+ and above). Pointe is a beautiful expression of ballet technique. It is challenging to master and takes dedication. Our dancers look forward to "going up" en pointe and beginning their journey to join the decades of dancers who have blazed the trail.

Roots Ballet levels are taught both Vaganova and Cecchetti technique as a base for fundamental ballet curriculum. Bourneville is also studied. The progression from Root A to Root E is cumulative and all levels follow the same syllabus. Classical ballet terminology is learned and technique is gradually expanded so that our dancers stay healthy and have an optimal ballet experience that they will be able to carry on to college and beyond.

The dancer is ready for a focus on barre work, technique and center work including simple adagio, classic positions of the body and simple petite allegro. Free dance and exploration of movement is still encouraged at this level.

Using the skills acquired in creative movement, the young dancer is now ready to begin barre work. The focus turns to stability, alignment and protocol that will set the basis for all future ballet classes. Creative movement is still the foundation of this level and barre work is simple and introduced slowly. The 15 minutes of tap at the end of the class is to strengthen and support rhythm and musicality. The dancer eventually learns more terminology and technique. Creative movement is still included in class as well as stretching and large motor skills. Teacher may add 15 minutes of tap at the end of class for rhythm, balance and strength.
