Frequently Asked Questions

Who will be teaching my child at camp?2019-07-03T11:40:31-05:00

The ROOTS camp staff includes a dedicated group of vetted and experienced teachers. Most are year-round ROOTS mentors, but some have been hired specifically for their camp because of their expertise in the summer camp topic.

What are the guidelines for drop-off and pick-up times, and is after-camp care available?2024-01-03T21:46:14-06:00

You may drop off your child 15 minutes prior to the start of the camp. Pick-up should be promptly arranged at the camp’s scheduled end time. Please note that we do not offer after-camp care services.

What is the procedure and policy for withdrawing a student from a camp, and are refunds available?2024-06-07T10:04:22-05:00

In the event that you need to cancel your student’s enrollment in a camp, a refund is available under specific conditions.

Registration, Withdrawal, & Reimbursement Policy:

  • Payment for camp is due in full at the time of registration.
  • Cancellations made more than 30 days prior to camp, will receive a refund for the cost of the camp minus a $50 processing fee.
  • Cancellations made within 30 days of a camp’s start date are only eligible for a refund of 50% of the camp cost. All reimbursements, minus the processing/cancellation fee, will be refunded in the form payment was initially received.
  • ROOTS reserves the right to cancel any camp that does not meet the minimum enrollment requirements. Any and all decisions to cancel a camp will be made no less than 2 weeks prior to the camp’s start date and a full refund will be issued.

To request a refund, please reach out to us at either music@rootsacademy.com or dance@rootsacademy.com, depending on the type of camp your student is enrolled in. We are happy to assist you through the refund process.

Is current enrollment in lessons or classes at ROOTS a requirement for participating in a camp?2024-01-03T21:23:31-06:00

No, it’s not required to be currently enrolled at ROOTS to register for one of our summer camps. We welcome everyone, regardless of whether they are a part of our regular programs. We’d be delighted to have you join us for summer camps, even if you’re not a current student!

Will there be an opportunity to view my child’s accomplishments during the camp?2024-01-03T21:26:28-06:00

At the conclusion of all ROOTS Camps, with the exception of the Dance Intensive, we organize a performance that highlights the skills and knowledge acquired by the students throughout the camp. The specifics of each performance may differ depending on the camp and will be communicated in detail as the camp dates approach.

Will my student need to bring a lunch, snack, or drink to camp with them?2019-07-03T11:45:53-05:00

Some camps will run through lunchtime and will require students to bring a packed lunch. Make sure you read through your camp’s description to see if lunch will be needed. ROOTS will provide snacks for camps.

We have water dispensers stationed around the studio, and we encourage students to bring refillable water bottles.

Which camps would be most suitable for my child who is new to dance?2024-01-03T21:35:22-06:00

The selection of an appropriate camp for your child primarily depends on their age. We offer a range of camps designed to cater to students between the ages of 4 to 18 years. Each camp is tailored to be age-appropriate and engaging, ensuring a positive and enriching experience for beginners in dance. Additionally, we recommend clicking on this link to search for dance camps based on your child’s age, style interests, or goals. This tool will help you find the most suitable camp options for your child’s specific needs and preferences.

What is the appropriate attire for my child to wear to a dance camp?2024-01-03T21:28:48-06:00

The dress code for each specific dance camp is outlined in its respective camp description. However, as a general guideline, we recommend fitted dance attire. This includes leggings, tank tops, dance shorts, and leotards. For hip hop camps, students may wear layers such as joggers, sweatpants, T-shirts, and hoodies.

Regarding footwear, tennis shoes are necessary for hip hop. Ballet camps require ballet shoes, which should be canvas or leather, depending on the age group. For jazz and lyrical camps, we recommend pirouettes or jazz shoes, and for contemporary dance, dance socks are acceptable.

In terms of hair, it should be secured up and away from the face to minimize distractions during the dance sessions.
