Hello, I’m Rosalie Francisco, a certified dance teacher dedicated to igniting passion through dance. Since 2013, Dance to the Rhythm (D2R) has provided a nurturing environment for students of all ages, fostering a tight-knit community bonded by our love for dance.
With honors in International Style from Joy of Dance and recognition by the Canadian Dancesport Federation since 2019, I specialize in choreographing unforgettable performances for shows, competitions and pageants.
With the help of my team of instructors, our studio offers a diverse array of dance levels and styles including Salsa, Bachata, Latin & Ballroom (International & American), Bellydancing, Argentine Tango, and Cuban Cabaret. Whether you join alone, with a partner, or in a group, everyone is welcome to experience the joy of dancing with us – no partner necessary!
