Roots & Rhythm February Break Winter Vacation Camp starts this Monday!

Dance is one of the most powerful ways to break that spell, because it brings you back into your body, invites curiosity, and helps you feel connected again, even in the middle of the coldest season.

In celebration of Black History Month, students will learn in the most meaningful way possible, by dancing it, drumming it, creating it, and experiencing it together.

Camp is open to the avid dancer and also to the child who simply wants to try something new, make friends, and dance their heart out.
