Over 9 years of performing and teaching with Ultra Gypsy, the Barbary Coast Shakedown, and Beats Antique have given Rose a unique insight to sharing the essentials of great technique, dynamic presence and the joy of this dance form.
As assistant director of Ultra Gypsy, Rose taught with Jill Parker throughout the United States and Europe at major festivals, workshops, and private instruction. Festivals she is honored to have been a part of include Tribal Fest, Spirit of the Tribes, Northern Migration, Tribal Quest, Tribal Cafe, Tribal Con, and the International Belly Dance Convention.
Rose has developed Dance Core Integration for Belly Dancers, material that came about as a result of traveling and teaching extensively.
"I started to notice that many of the belly dancers we were teaching didn't fully understand how to tap in to their core strength for dancing. as i continued my training in modern, contemporary, and ethnic dance forms i started to see how these classes utilized training to strengthen the core muscles in a way that was then directly applied to dance technique. i started to apply these principles to my belly dance practice and all kinds of things started to click in to place for me. i started to modify many of the things i was learning to correlate with belly dance material and integrated them in to my weekly class. The material draws on dance training, yoga, pilates, and strength training. It's a great way enrich your dance practice to get the most out of your movement!"
Her experience with large group instruction and private/troupe coaching with a focus on professional performance makes Rose a versatile and articulate
instructor.
