“I wanted to thank you for what I think is one of the best dance experiences I have ever had. I’ve always wanted to dance, but was so shy and had social anxiety for so long that I never put myself out there because of it. Taking this class has made a hug difference in me and my confidence. Thank you for your kindness. You’re so humble and gracious and I’m so glad to have met you.”

I joined Charlene’s ladies salsa team about 8 months ago. I have had many dance instructors but Charlene really stood out not only because of her talent in dancing, but her attention to details and providing individual feedback to help her students of all levels to improve their body movement, physical strength and musicality. Students have the options to perform on stages, local venues or just learn the choreography. I noticed the improvement in myself and others pretty quickly. Her method works! The ladies are the team are extremely friendly and supportive. If you are looking to improve your dancing no matter what level you are, you will be happy to check out the classes and teams offered by Charlene.

I started taking burlesque dance classes about a year ago now from Charlene Rose and it has changed my life tremendously. I’ve gained so much confidence in my self and in performing in front of a crowd. It has been so much fun being part of her burlesque dance troupe. I highly recommend her dance classes, both bulresque and salsa … it will definitely make you a better performer, gain self confidence, give you the discipline to better yourself .. yet have the best time and gain valuable experiences that will help you personally as an individual.

One of the best dance instructors out there. Super fun, patient and knows how to instruct in a way that is understandable. Overall… great dancer, teacher, motivator. She definitely has a passion for movement and has the experience and education to back it. She has a way of creating a fun loving dance community, bringing so many to discover a suppressed, hidden talent they may posses.

I have been with the instructor Charlene Rose for over 4 years now. She is one of the best dance teacher around. Herself is a great dancer, super professional, if you search her on youtube, you will find a lot of her competition videos. As a teacher, she is very good at picking up your strength and weakness, so that you can get tips to fix your own problem. She is nice and fun, easy to work with. Not a whole lot like the stereotype of strict dance teacher.

If you are looking for something fun, her team is the right place to be. Whether salsa or burlesque, you will have a lot of fun. And if you are serious about dancing, you will find yourself improve by practicing regularly and performing at events.

I want to thank you for all of your great teaching and encouragement. Last night at Zanzibar I was reminded of the last time I was there…. a couple of years ago a girlfriend brought me to Zanzibar on a Saturday night (random pop/hip-hop type music… don’t really remember). She “made” me get on the dance floor and kept telling me to “dance sexy”…. she was trying to get me out of my “shell”. I literally ended up hiding in the bathroom….I am not sure what I would have said if someone would have told me how one day I would be on that dance floor performing in a black rhinestone bodysuit…… =)

I wanted to let you know how happy I am that I joined the Women’s Styling Performance team for The Charlene Rose Dance Company. I recently performed at the Salsa Extravaganza in Palm Springs; it was exciting and challenging, I loved it! Another interesting point occurred to me. I had the opportunity to take an advanced partnering salsa workshop and in the course of this workshop I got some excellent feedback from advanced male leads. More than 3 participants said “Wow! I want to dance with you again!” after they tried the choreography with me! Interestingly enough, even though I havn’t been partner dancing my partner dancing skills have greatly improved. Thank you so much for the excellence in which you teach and the opportunity to grow as a dancer. Yours united in love for dance!
