About
Roxanne Green is the owner of Dancemobile which originated in 1991 to bring dance, tumbling, and performing arts classes to schools. Roxanne also teaches private lessons to children and adults in homes and studios. She is available to choreograph and instruct ballroom dances for special events such as weddings, Sweet 16s, and Quinceaneras. During the day she now teaches dance at Las Americas Newcomer School and Jane Long Academy in Houston.
Roxanne has danced since the age of 2 and performed in The Nutcracker Ballet at the age of 3 as one of Mother Ginger's children in a collaboration with Isabel McKenna's studio and Houston Ballet. She was also chosen to dance with Patrick Swayze in Sleeping Beauty. She has a Bachelors of Performing Arts degree from Oklahoma City University where she was a member of the American Spirit Dance Company under the direction of Jo Rowan. She performed in the Marie Osmond & Bros. Show where she also co-choreographed a dance for the opening. She danced in the Vic Damone show, Victor Costa fashion show, and many musicals, some of which were held at the 1894 Grand Opera House in Galveston. Roxanne has choreographed musicals and operettas and danced in a Spanish movie "The Marianao Kid." She placed 16th in a worldwide tap competition judged by Charles "Honi" Coles, Savion Glover, Brenda Buffalino, and Lynn Daly.
In one of those crazy unexpected life moments, Roxanne recently taught a quick tap lesson to Val Chmerkovskiy, one of the dance instructors on DWTS.
Roxanne choreographs high school musicals and pageants and enjoys working with all ages and choreographing group dances. She has years of teaching experience and choreography under her belt. Roxanne always takes pride in her work and loves to spread the knowledge of dance as well as see the joy on her students' faces as they learn.
In order to work in day cares and private schools, Roxanne completes criminal background checks and FBI fingerprinting on a regular basis. She is also required to keep up to date on CPR and First Aid certification. There is no certification for dance instructors. This is why Roxanne received her Bachelors Degree from Oklahoma City University in their very prestigious program and continues her dance training on a regular basis.

Roxanne is the best teacher! She taught our Marriage Ministry couples two ballroom dances for our date night function. Our group loved her! We had such a good time, they are already asking when can we do it again. Not only is she knowledgeable, but has a great personality, patience and tailored the lessons to our varying levels. She walked amongst our group providing instruction to ensure we were all “getting it” and managed our time together well teaching at just the right pace. Not too fast, not to slow. She is fun and professional. Right from our initial communication, Roxanne was always quick to respond and answer all questions. Really enjoyed working with her and would absolutely hire her again. Thanks Roxanne for a wonderful time!
Details: 26-35 • 36-45 • A group of 5-10 people • Ballroom • No experience • Developing a hobby • 60 minutes • Once a week • The dance instructor travels to me

Dancemobile is the bomb! We had a great time with our church couples for our Valentines Banquet. We had about 20 couples and a dancefloor and Roxanne took it the rest of the way. All age groups loved the lessons, we did the 2 Step and the Polka she ended with the timeless Cotton Eyed Joe! It was a great night of fun. My congregants and extended church family are still talking about this, many are looking to book Ms. Green for there 25th and 50th wedding anniversary parties. Thanks so much again for making our night special.

Thank you so much! I had a blast as well. Please do have the couples contact me for a special anniversary dance. I would love to see them again. Also tell the younger folks planning weddings so I can choreograph beautiful dances for their wedding memories.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
It depends on the type of class and how many students. My standard fee is $100/hour which includes driving to the students or the Webster studio rental fee. If choreography is needed such as for weddings or an audition piece, there is a small one time choreography fee since I do the work outside of instruction time.
For parties I charge $10 per person with a minimum of 10 people. In this case I lead fun dances and do not provide individual instruction.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to know what type of music and movement the customer likes and what exactly they are wanting to achieve. I also find out a time period before the performance if applicable so I will know how often to meet with the customer for instruction.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I began taking dance classes at the age of 2 with Isabel McKenna after which I studied with Ruth Elgin. I took tap, ballet, pointe, and jazz. I was in the Ball High School Tornettes Drill Team and was a drill team officer under the direction of Barbara Crow. I have a Bachelors in Performing Arts Dance from Oklahoma City University under the direction of Jo Rowan. I danced in The American Spirit Dance Company, Discovery Dance Group, The Carl Siberon Dancers, and Act I Liturgical Company. I have danced in many musicals including "A Chorus Line," "Chicago," "Carnival," "How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," and others. I have choreographed quite a few musicals including "Grease," "42nd Street," and "Spamalot." I have worked in films, TV, and commercials. I was a dancer in a Spanish film "The Marianoa Kid." I was a stand in for Lauren German who was the lead in "Love and Mary." I placed 16th in a worldwide tap competition judged by Charles "Honi" Coles, Savion Glover, Brenda Buffalino, and Lynn Daly. I have taken master classes with many top tap dancers including Brenda Buffalino and Acia Gray.
