Thursdays with Alison Chesley

3:00-4:00pm Street Jazz 1 (7-10 yrs) 

4:15-5:15pm Street Jazz 2 (11+ yrs)

Kids Street Jazz is a high-energy and engaging dance style combining jazz dance and hip hop with sprinkles of other dance genres into fun and rewarding dance routines. It offers young dancers an exciting opportunity to express themselves creatively, develop their coordination, and build confidence through movement.

Reyna Hernández-Roque (she/her) is a Mexican-American dancer who enjoys discovering new, unusual, and inventive ways to express herself. Her artistic journey has led her to explore and experiment with various dance styles, including traditional Mexican dance, improvisational dance, and postmodern/contemporary dance. But her main style and specialty is street dance, especially hip hop and popping. A graduate from UCLA with a B.A. in Dance and a minor in Anthropology, she has performed in college, university, and professional settings both nationally and overseas. Reyna has also taught dance to children, teens, and adults, and aims to inspire a love and passion for the arts.

Alison is a veteran of the Santa Cruz dance scene having taught classes for all ages at Motion Pacific while running and performing with her teen performance troupe Scene 13 for almost a decade. She has also performed and taught her own fiery style of Cardio Funk/Hip Hop/Street Jazz for three years in LA, stints in Paris and Japan, and recently in WA state where she again ran a kids Hip-Hop group and also started her unique class for adults, Energizing Flow. Alison is now a licensed Physical Therapist Asst. and works with the rehab department at Pacific Coast Manor where she incorporates her Energizing Flow with both rehab patients and in classes for residents using elements of dance, Tai Chi and Pilates with music to spice up their recovery and daily lives.
