Rena is an absolutely wonderful teacher! She is funny, respectful, and kind and will make you love dancing. Totally doable for someone who has never danced in their life. Also, she brings snacks and treats and tells really inspiring stories! Take her class!

Fun dance class to take— learned a lot!

She seemed kind of scary at first, but she was overall a great teacher who really cared and ultimately wanted everyone to succeed and feel safe. If you have never taken a dance class and just want to learn how to dance while also having fun, I would recommend her!

Dance 101 was so much fun with Rena! Absolutely recommend. Classes are so fun if you actually participate and she really cares about her students, plus when she goes off on a tangent the stories she has are so engaging. Only bad thing is you need to go to 3 outside dances but swing club and red rock line dancing are fun to go to with friends anyway

Rena is amazing! Her knowledge of dance truly shows in her teaching and her teaching style

Rena was a fine professor. The class itself is cool since you get to learn about different relaxation techniques and have time to relax in class, but it's very disorganized. You don't know what reading corresponds with what week and you have to record yourself relaxing for 5-10 minutes twice which is awkward. But, it's a fun, easy one-credit class.

She gave a lot of work for an online class. I was very confused with her assignments. She is pretty sweet in person but gave extremely passive aggressive comments on my assignments.

The assignments are extremely unfair. I wanted to do the volunteer option and even got approved to do so. I couldn't do the volunteering because my work schedule (can't change). It's unfair that the people who do 15 hours of volunteering only write 3 pages and those that can't volunteer watch 15 hours of videos yet have to write 8 pages.

She's an effective teacher who is passionate about the material, which you gotta respect. Fun class, learned a lot about dance, and would highly recommend.

Wonderful instructor; can tell she truly cares, especially with coming in on the weekend before tests to give students more time. Super hard to not to get an A if you actually do everything.

Rena is super nice and a really easy grader. The only thing that was kind of time consuming was we had to go to 3 social dances and two dance performances. Other than that it was a really easy and fun class.

Ballroom dance is fun but wayyy too hard for a 1cr class. You have to do a final research paper and there are written exams and dance performance exams with routines you have to memorize, plus required social dances and shows that you have to attend outside of class! Do not take this if you are just looking for a fun 1cr class to take.
