She has such a brilliant spirit--so thoughtful, kind, and genuinely invested in making the experience meaningful. What could have felt intimidating as complete beginners with zero dance experience quickly became one of the most joyful parts of preparing for our big day. We chose Brown Eyed Girl for our first dance, which isn't the most typical choice, and Lisa completely embraced it. She choreographed something that felt perfectly us--fun, natural, and achievable for beginners while still looking beautiful. She has an incredible gift for tailoring choreography to your abilities while helping you feel confident every step of the way. What truly sets Lisa apart is the care she puts into her work. She spent time outside of our lessons thoughtfully crafting and refining our dance, something we've honestly never seen another instructor do. Her attention to detail and genuine investment made us feel so supported. Lisa didn't just teach us a dance--she helped create one of the most memorable moments of our wedding. We'll be recommending her to every friend and family member with an upcoming wedding. She is truly one of a kind.

We cannot thank Lisa enough for the incredible experience she gave us while preparing for our first…read morewedding dance. From the very first lesson, we knew we had made the right choice! She has an amazing, fun, and outgoing personality that made every lesson so enjoyable. She made us feel at ease from the start, and it never felt like a chore--more like a fun and exciting activity we looked forward to every week. One of the things that stood out most was her flexibility. We had a lot of moving parts with wedding planning, but Lisa was always accommodating with our schedules. As a teacher, she is so patient as we worked through new moves. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple and choreographed something that matched our beginner skill level, while still being show-stopping for our guests. On the big day, our first dance was a hit! We've received so many compliments from our family and friends who were blown away by how smooth and elegant it looked. We couldn't have done it without Lisa. The dance lessons ended up being one of our absolute favorite parts of the wedding planning process, and we're so grateful for her guidance and encouragement. If you're looking for an instructor who will make your first dance both fun and memorable, we can't recommend Lisa enough. Thank you again for making our special day even more amazing! We love you Lisa! -Adam & Ariela

The studio is warm and welcoming, as are all the other students. And there is street parking!

I was visiting my daughter in Santa Monica and I also have a good friend who lives in the area and…read morethought I'd get the two together on a recent trip to LA. The local friend mentioned how she attended a dance/exercise class very near where my daughter lived in SM, so why don't we meet her there on a Saturday morning? She assured me that there were all ages of women, and even though it was a vigorous workout that "I could do it". Well I'm a bit "rubenesque" but I had been attending a gym 4 times a week and had dropped 10 lbs. And in my mind felt thinner and stronger....okay.... So with that my daughter and I showed up for Rosalind's Saturday morning 9am class. My daughter was in excellent shape and worked out almost every day. Well.... Let me tell you I certainly "did" get a workout and it was challenging but in a very satisfying way and yes, I was sweating bullets when I left after a hour and a half. Even my 22 year old daughter was impressed with the workout and my perseverance, and was proud that I made it all the way through (even with my arm flailing in all the wrong directions). I do feel sorry for all the women behind me, since my daughter and my friend insisted on being in front so they could see better. I was trying desperately to keep up and probably was one to two steps behind, so hopefully anyone trying to follow me gave up and used someone else as a guide who knew the class routine. It's a full body workout and my legs got probably the most from this hour and a half. I learned two days later I had muscles I never knew I owned! But even with being a pretty sore, as soon as I got back to the Bay Area I already missed this heavy duty workout regime. Because I knew if I had the opportunity to stick with Rosalind I could have really seen some improvement in area's I probably miss at my regular workout at the gym. I also liked the feel of the large vibrant group of woman all working out together in the big dance studio (really super nice place), I really miss that aspect of private class vs. just running on a treadmill and a few weights at the gym. For me personally I also favored having a mature teacher for a change, she was very knowledgeable, and spent time walking around with helpful corrections making movements easier. She also has a very gentle demeanor and a positive vibe about her that really flowed through the class. Oh well, it's too far away for me but if I lived in the area I'd definitely be back to challenge myself!
