Rooted classes blend creative movement, art, and social-emotional learning in a supportive, inclusive environment. Each 45 minute session is thoughtfully designed by a team of therapists, psychologists, and dance instructors to engage the whole child -body, mind, and spirit. We currently have classes at the Downtown YMCA and the semester will end May 16.

Rooted hosts workshops on topics like parenting, marriage, and mental health, led by our Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. These sessions are designed to build community and make mental health support more accessible for families.

We also offer caregiver workshops for families enrolled in our signature classes, providing practical tools to reinforce at home what their children are learning in class.

Rooted is community-driven, committed to identifying real needs and bridging gaps where support is needed most. Our fundraising efforts sustain our programs and strengthen the wider Tuscaloosa community through initiatives like our Snack Pantry for Tuscaloosa City Schools and our Sensory Activation Vehicle in partnership with the Tuscaloosa Police Department. Each project reflects our mission to meet people where they are and create meaningful, lasting change.
