ROOTS Dance Company Celebration

Last Updated: June 10th, 2019

To close the chapter for the 2018-2019 dance season, the ROOTS company dancers and their families celebrated with a taco bar and dancing.  

More importantly, the night gave everyone a chance to reflect and remember such an amazing year.

One of the new traditions started included company members signing a ballet bar to be hung in the studio. Awards were presented to celebrate the dedication, growth, and positive influence our dancers exhibited.
