“Amanda Rose's teaching has been integral to my dance journey. I started taking Amanda Rose's online pre-recorded classes in 2018. I was so impressed by her technical breakdown and cultural and contextual knowledge of raqs sharqi that I invited her to teach workshops in the Netherlands the following year. Amanda has an amazing ability to break down subtleties in technique. Even with primarily online learning and feedback, I feel that I have grown so much as a dancer from her classes. To top it all off, she's an incredible performer!”

“My experience with Amanda Rose has been crucial to my growth as a dancer over the past couple of years. I am a devoted student to her 6 week pre-recorded series, especially with personal feedback. She really analyzes the way each student moves and offers specific advice on how to improve moves that need improvement and offers positive reinforcement! Her instruction gives me confidence in my body and movement that I need as a dancer! Major Amanda Rose bonus: she taught me how do do the tummy flutter after ten years of me believing I was physically was unable to do them! Thank you Amanda for everything you do!”

“Amanda Rose Online is a valuable resource! Her classes are the perfect blend of technique and musical theory, and I appreciate her musicality combinations that allow you to really put all that abstract theory into practice. The addition of live classes gives you the chance to ask questions and get corrections in a fun and supportive environment. But the best part of Amanda Rose Online courses is the feedback - Amanda Rose is great at giving detailed, specific, actionable feedback that includes suggestions for improvement and 'next steps'. This kind of dance content is priceless!”

Jamie, Texas, USA.

“I absolutely love taking Amanda Rose Online recorded classes. Amanda is such an engaging and personable teacher, I often forget the classes aren’t live! Her classes are easy to follow with clear technique and combination breakdowns. I love the flexibility of being able to take the classes when I want and the ability to repeat sections as needed. Having the ability to choose personal feedback or live class options adds another layer of awesomeness to the whole experience. Amanda Rose’s feedback is always thoughtful, clear, and is extremely helpful. I’m a huge fan and sign up for every class - because I know if It comes from Amanda Rose it is going to be great!”

Angela, Clayton, California, USA.

“Amanda is such a warm, compassionate instructor, and her classes are so technically detailed! I learn so much in every series about the muscle mechanics of moves I thought I had been doing correctly for years. I highly recommend taking advantage of her 'personal feedback' option – she provides detailed notes at various time points in your submission video, of specific moves you are doing (or not doing!) and instructions for improving them. I also appreciate how important musicality is to her – she really breaks down why she chooses the moves and accents she does in her choreographies. She has helped me hear things in the music I had not noticed before. I look forward every week to her classes!”

Rosalind, Coalville, Utah, USA.

“I've been studying under Amanda since 2016 and over the years I've utilized pretty much all of her services that she's offered - competition coaching, general coaching, AROnline classes, and intensives. What I love about AROnline is the variety of services Amanda offers because it allows me to focus on a specific area of my dance development or a combination depending on where I am in life and my dance journey. One thing that is unique about Amanda's style of teaching is not just her ability to break down technique or drills in a way that is easy to understand, but exploring the connection of movement and how it makes you feel. I'm at a point in my dance journey where I'm looking to improve my improvisation skills and express movement in an authentic way versus moving how I think I should move. One way Amanda has helped me explore this is simply asking why. Why does my body move the way that it does? Why does my body avoid certain movements? This has taken my dance journey to a deeper level and has got me really thinking about how I feel when going through these movement exercises.”

Gameela, Sacramento, California, USA.

”I have been taking classes with Amanda for many years in all formats that she offers, like pre-recorded classes, live classes, MCEG classes, and private coaching classes. Amanda is a very charismatic, fun, thoughtful, compassionate, and very knowledgeable teacher. I enjoy and learn a lot from her classes' content and from the way that she explains things. She is always available for any questions or concerns that I could have, and I really appreciate that. She asks for feedback about our experiences with her classes, so she is flexible in adjusting things to the needs of students. Class after class, I keep fully engaged and excited to learn from her and be part of her dance community. I've grown so much as a dancer by studying with her and I'm so thankful for her passion, dedication, hard work, and her love for dance and students. I definitely recommend her online classes and I'm looking forward to meeting her in person!”

Alejandra, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.

“I have taken several of AROnline courses and really enjoy them a lot. I love how organized Amanda is as an instructor. Her classes are structured in a clear way, incorporating warm-up, technique drilling, applying movements and concepts to combos, and she even recently added an improvisation section. She explains what she is doing very clearly in her videos and doesn’t go too fast, while still keeping it challenging for every level with her creative choreography. She is very detailed and thorough in her personal feedback and if you choose that option I think it is really worth it in holding you accountable to practice the material, as well as in helping your growth and improvement as a dancer.”

Marina Viola, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA.

“When I started working with Amanda Rose I was at the point of my dance journey where I was ready to level up my dance in technique and expression. I love how the pre-recorded classes are just bite-sized enough to fit into daily life and with the addition of personal feedback you can gain a felt personal sense of the technique you are working on. Amanda's feedback is always challenging in a good way and thoughtful. It's great to work with someone who's able to break down the nitty-gritty anatomy of a move so that you can fully understand how it works on your body.”

Michelle, Seattle, Washington, USA.

“Love dancing with Amanda online. Low threshold. Working on your points for improvement at your own level, pace, and time format. Every week a step higher in level with the lessons gives me a boost in oriental dance. After the 6 weeks, I am full of inspiration and self-confidence. Amanda is a real dance teacher. Your bottlenecks and questions are tackled with a lot of passion, personal attention, and patience. Her live lessons in between are highly recommended. After 6 weeks I am full of inspiration and confidence. I have already made two of my own Choreos. One in Malaya style and a drum solo. Find it addictive. great to dance with Amanda's choreos. Her interpretation is wonderful. A mix of classical oriental dance with a touch of Jazz, modern, and the trends of today. Definitely not messy.
In short, I do not regret that I started following Amanda two years ago. has greatly improved my dance style, knowledge, and confidence.”
