ROOTS Academy proudly hosted its 12th Annual Dance Recital themed, The Journey: Trust it. Enjoy it. Embrace it. at the magnificent Belmont University Fischer Center on May 11-12, 2024.

The journey to this grand stage was one of hard work, dedication, and overcoming for our dancers and it was an honor to see their talent shine. Over two incredible days, an astounding number of participants—over 680 talented dancers alongside an incredible audience of over 4200 friends and family members—in four spectacular shows filled the venue. It took an impressive 300 volunteers, staff and mentors collective expertise to bring The Journey to life!

We are immensely proud of each of our dancers, the mentors and staff that brought their spirit of excellence and talent to the stage, and for the family and friends that showed up to cheer on each of our dancers! Every year we wholeheartedly believe we are closing out our best ROOTS Dance season. This was a special year and we are very expectant of all that is to come in the 2024-25 Dance season in August.  We hope you will join us!

Below are some of our favorite moments from this year’s recital The Journey: Trust it. Enjoy it. Embrace it.
