Rosa Rodríguez-Frazier is a teacher, dance-maker, and performing artist based in Riverside, California. Her interest as a first-generation Mexican American woman artist values “movement” as a means to corporally dismantle bi/cultural stereotypes of gender, class, race and citizenship on traditional/non-traditional U.S. performance platforms. Frazier’s movement aesthetic and choreographic interests are rooted on a mix of Late-Modern/Post-Modern and Banda-Norteño social dance forms approached by “Experimental” dance-making processes.

Frazier received a BA in Dance and an MFA in Experimental Choreography from the University of California, Riverside, and a California Teaching Credential for Single Subject Education from the University of Redlands.

Over the past decade Frazier has had the opportunity to create and perform work inter/nationally alongside dance partner, Joey Navarrete (rosa and joey dueto collective), counterpoint/shift under the direction of Sue Roginsk, and Primera Generación Dance Collective alongside Alfonso Cervera, Irvin Gonzalez and Patty Huerta. Currently, Frazier is an adjunct faculty at Riverside City College and a full-time dance teacher and co-director of the A.B. Miller High School Dance and Conservatory of Dance program in Fontana, California where she teaches Contemporary Dance, Jazz, Improvisation, Choreography, Dance Repertoire and Dance History.
