Rosa is a clear, patient and engaging instructor. Having hosted her multiple times for bellydance workshops and attended several more, I'm continually impressed by her dedication to inserting cultural context, as well as her ability to make every student feel supported by her nurturing teaching style.

What we commonly call belly dance comes from the Middle East and North Africa. Once you start to learn about the roots of belly dance, its history, and how dance fits into many different parts of life, you'll be even more intrigued!
In the cultures of origin, belly dance is a social, celebratory dance form, done by regular people with their friends for enjoyment and expression, as well as by professionals for entertainment at all different types of events.
Rosa's experience is primarily with Egyptian style belly dance. She has visited Cairo numerous times to study and explore. She loves to share her knowledge to help students gain a deeper understanding of this dance form.
You'll learn to move in a whole new way, appreciating your body for all that it does for you both in class and in life.
