"I absolutely love taking my Flamenco dance classes. Rosetta is a wonderful person, a superb flamenco dancer and an excellent teacher. Rosetta is easy going, charming, funny and just a real genuine person. It's a pleasure to be her student and friend". -- Rebecca Pasillas

 

"I thank you SO MUCH for coming today to DePaul University and making such an amazing presentation. You are a person full of energy and makes me so proud that people like you spread the culture of Spain everywhere with such passion. As a sevillana, I have to tell you that you are the most authentic flamenco dancer I have ever seen outside of Spain. You are inspirational Rosetta. I would never thank you enough. Nos vemos pronto!" -- Maria Campos

 

"I just wanted to thank you for teaching us the Fundamentals workshop this Sunday! I had such a wonderful time and the class has re-fueled my desire to learn Flamenco even more." -- Jessica Marie Sanchez

 

"You are the best dance teacher I have had so far. You care so much for the way we perform and want us to get it right - it is amazing." -- Shiwali Varshney

 

"You should know what a difference you make to everyone -- especially me!!! I enjoyed performing your choreography so much. So . . . I wanted to tell you THANK YOU - for making such a difference in my life. I appreciate it more than I can eloquently express." -- Camie DeGuerre

 

"Everybody enjoyed the [student] show, and marveled that you were the only teacher!! A couple of people told me how great a teacher you must be. Of course I had to agree. Thanks again for sharing your great talent with us." -- Ivette Monroy


"I know I rarely, if ever, tell you this but you are an excellent teacher. I love the way you find ways to break things down for us so it's easier to be learned. I confess that my teaching is sometimes influenced by yours because now I try more to break down concepts into little easy to understand steps so my students can understand better. I learned that when you take the time to do this is well worth it." -- Marciel Gonzalez

 

"I enjoyed being a part of your show, and hope to become more involved in the future. You did a beautiful job putting the dancers of varying levels
together, which I know can be a tricky challenge. I was very impressed." -- Allyson Esposito


"Thank you very much for everything you have taught me so far, dancing has changed a lot of
things for me in my life. I appreciate your energy, generosity, and good will." -- Robin D'Averso

 

"You are such a terrific teacher. You always find a way to improve my skills. Thank you very much for the fun classes, and your patience. Thank you for everything." -- Jill Chaiear

 

"I just wanted to let you know that I enjoy your class because of your patience and teaching technique. This shows me that you really enjoy what you do in making your students feel comfortable. A satisfied customer..." -- Mercy Bravo

 

"Thanks Rosetta for the updates on your classes. I will keep practicing and learning more until I can come back. I do love your smaller classes, they move faster with a lot more structure [than the others I have been taking] . . . until the next time..." -- Selina Santos

 

"Last year, when I started taking dance classes with Rosetta, it was simply because I was curious. I had heard some flamenco music travelling in Spain and I enjoyed it. I never had any formal dance training and the few attempts as a begining adult dancer always ended up in dissapointment and frustration. Nevertheless, I decided some movement would be a good change.

"But little did I realise that with Rosetta, I was not just learning Flamenco, but a course in creativity, coordination, strength, flexibility, expression, rhythm- I could go on.. Rosetta totally understands the begining adult dancer- their physical limitations, strengths and learning abilities. She just instinctively knows when you're lost in class or when you need that extra push and challenge." -- Shalini Venkataraman

 

"Wow. What a great show. It was exciting being a part of that spectacular production! Thank you!
Looking forward to future classes and shows." -- Mia Tatic

 

"I'm so happy that I found this. It's what I look forward to every day. I can't wait to grow with the classes -- you are amazing!" -- Denise Dietz

 

"Thank you for all of your hard work, support, patience, and excellent instruction. I always look forward to my flamenco class and opportunities to perform." -- Catherine Harris Palladino

 

"When I started going to flamenco class just a year ago in Japan, I felt it would be a long way to complete sevillanas and could not expect to perform at a recital. But, I can't help recognizing that the continuation of practice has a great power. I really enjoyed the recital with wonderful company !

"Rosetta is not only a great flamenco dancer, but also has excellent talent to plan and create new things. I can get good inspiration from her every time. I really appreciate that she is taking care of us and supporting us !" -- Rie Katayama



"Rosetta is a flamenco dance teacher of rare quality. She knows dance and music thoroughly from a technical perspective, and, in addition, she is able to clearly and concisely teach what she knows to students at all levels. She is encouraging, positive, and helps each student to learn at her/his own pace. Her sense of humor and openenss to each student's needs make her an especially wonderful trasmitter of the artform." -- Felicia M. Elias
