Hi, I’m Rosa!
I love to share dance with adults of all ages and stages of life.
My motivation is to offer an hour of affirming and uplifting movement that leaves you feeling better than when you started.
Feeling sluggish? Having a rough day? Need some inspiration?
Let’s dance!
And these classes are about even more than the movements. We delve into cultural context and music, for deeper understanding.
I’m based in Portland, Maine, where I have been teaching dance for over 15 years. Ballet has been a beloved part of my life since childhood. Belly dance changed everything about how I relate to my body when I took my first class as an adult.
Movement makes all the difference.
It can change your mood, your ability to process setbacks, the way the news of the world affects you.
When I don’t move, everything seems much more challenging – both physically and emotionally.
Bringing dance, music, and genuine human connection into my life on a regular basis… this makes all the difference in my quality of life.
How does this work?
These online adult dance classes are held live via Zoom. You can also watch the recording on your own schedule!
You’ll get the link via email an hour before class begins. You can join up to 10 minutes early to say hi and check your connection.
You can turn your camera on OR keep it off, according to your comfort level.
You don’t need a big space!
My classes have been designed for a small home space. If you can take 1-2 steps in each direction, and sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you — you’re good to go!
While a wood floor is amazing, you’ll be able to take this class on any flooring — carpet, linoleum, tile, or wood.
A yoga mat is preferred by many — but that’s entirely up to you.
What do I wear?
Wear leggings and a tank top—or whatever you like to dance in.
Bare feet or dance shoes and a hip scarf are perfect for Lunchtime Shimmy.
Non-grippy socks and covered legs are ideal for Floor Barre to allow your feet and legs to slide on the floor.
The most important thing is that you are comfortable!
Let’s dance!
You don’t need to lose or gain weight.
You don’t need to be flexible or have rhythm.
You just need to be ready to have fun and learn something new in a warm and supportive class.
