MUSIC STUDENT OF THE MONTH

Darby, Piano Student for 4 Years

Darby is a very devoted student. As a mom of 2 young children, I love seeing how she prioritizes herself by taking piano lessons, and how she makes practicing a priority. She says it relaxes her and gives her a sense of achievement. She has performed in every showcase since she started, as a way of pushing herself to do things outside of her comfort zone.

She just had her four-year “ROOTSiversary,” and I’m so proud of her commitment to music and herself!  She definitely deserves to be celebrated!

– Ms. Krystol

FEATURED MUSIC MENTOR

I’m so excited to celebrate Alison, not only for all that she gives and pours into her students but this month, Alison celebrates 10 YEARS of mentorship here at ROOTS!

Alison is always looking for new and exciting ways to bring music to life for students, and we are incredibly grateful to have her passion for educating and heart for mentoring here as a part of our Music Mentor family.”

– Emily Lindsey, Music Director

DANCE CLASS OF THE MONTH

ROOTS Boys Crew is an all boys, high-energy hip hop class that meets on Wednesday nights.

Recently, the class has been focusing on their rhythm, footwork and musicality.

These guys work so hard and have a blast in class with Deavon!

FEATURED DANCE MENTOR

Kira Fargas has this gentle and kind spirit about her.

She instructs her students with such grace and knowledge.

She has gains the kids respect by listening to them and caring for them not only dancers but individuals.

FEATURED DANCE MENTOR

Every time I see Maria Logan, she’s got a smile on her face. Her warmth and grace in every situation is something I admire so much about her.

We’ll definitely miss her presence in our hallways, but I wish her the absolute best on her next adventure!
