Dance for Singers

with Jessica Gonzalez-Rodriguez

Just like your voice, your body and the way it moves are unique.

That's why I created Dance for Singers.

Welcome to
Dance for Singers!

A 3-month virtual one-on-one dance intensive to help you gain the essential dance skills for opera, operetta and musical theatre.

Together, we will build your confidence, develop tools for learning and adapting choreography, and cultivate kinesthetic awareness of how your unique body moves. Your lack of dance experience will never hold you back again!

You will leave Dance for Singers empowered with language, tools, and experience to use your body confidently, comfortably, and expressively onstage.

Hi! I'm Jessica.

Hello! My name is Jessica and I’m an international professional opera singer. I have sung across the US, from the California Theatre to Carnegie Hall, and perform with companies like Opera San Jose, Opera Santa Barbara, and Pacific Opera Project. Internationally, I've performed in Mexico with the Orquesta Sinfonica de Michoacan and in European cities including Vienna, Berlin, and Prague.

I have an extensive dance background across various styles. I first joined not one, but two professional dance companies at age 6 and have been dancing onstage for 34 years. I specialize in Flamenco, Mexican Folklorico, Bellydance, Hawaiian dance and Ballet technique to name a few. I can teach and adapt to any style with ease, and it has helped me tremendously in my career as an opera singer. I have even begun choreographing, most recently as both Choreographer and the Featured Flamenco Dancer in Opera San Jose’s production of Zorro.

I am a full believer that anyone can be a dancer.

You already have the learning skills, attention to detail, and discipline needed to become a successful dancer, because you have cultivated those tools as a singer. Together, we can apply those skills to learning dance combinations and choreography.

“I thoroughly recommend this course for anyone who has ever hesitated to audition for a stage role that required dancing or any coordinated movement on stage.”
