Rooted in Rhythm

The Vision for Roots & Revival Dance

At Roots & Revival, I seek to create a nurturing and enriching dance environment that supports the growth and development of young dancers. My goal is to foster a space where girls feel safe to take risks, make mistakes, and celebrate their progress, boosting their value along the way.

 

I aim to cultivate an understanding of rhythm, timing, and musicality by exposing students to a diverse range of music and encouraging them to move to the beat. Through group dances and collaborative activities, I want to help girls learn the importance of teamwork, support one another, and build lasting friendships. 

 

I envision my students blossoming with creativity and leaving my classes with a deeper rooted love for dance!

   My Dance Story

Dance has been my lifelong passion, sparked by the infectious rhythms I fell in love with as a child. From the very first beat, I found myself compelled to move!

My dance journey truly took off in high school, where I proudly joined the Magruder Pompon Dance Team and trained at Barbie's Dance Studio. During this time, I not only honed my skills but also had the incredible opportunity to serve as a choreographer for the studio, allowing me to blend my love for dance with creativity.

To further enrich my understanding and appreciation of dance, I minored in the subject at Montgomery College while coaching the high school pompon team. Over the past 15 years, I have been fortunate to share my passion by teaching dance for various drama productions, churches, schools, and community events.​

What people are saying...

My daughter joined Kristen's dance class this fall and every time she walked out of class she says, "I just love this class so much." Kristen is not only incredibly talented in dance, but she is also full of energy, enthusiasm and excitement that is contagious. You can tell she truly loves teaching the class and she works so well with the girls.  As a mom, I also really appreciate that it's a wholesome environment that encourages these girls' self-image rather than the opposite that's so prevalent in the dance community. I love that they have a dance recital too! I highly recommend this class!
