Rona Kaye

Rona Kaye’s line dance teaching career began in New York City in

1993. She was the Dance/Special Events Coordinator/In House Choreographer at New York City’s premiere Country Music & Dance venue, Denim & Diamonds. That six year work experience was one of the very best in her life!

Rona’s “on air” (TV) credits include Good Morning America, Guiding Light, As the World Turns, Access Hollywood and RuPaul Show among others. She has worked as a line dance instructor on Fox, Comcast, and MTV.
Rona still continues to promote Country Music & Dance events in New York City with her business partner, Dave Cervini of NY’s Premiere Country Music radio station, WYNY 103.5. They have promoted dances over the past few years at venues like The Copacabana and are currently holding their events at the beautiful 20th floor venue in midtown Manhattan, 230 Fifth Avenue. There is still a nice sized market of Country music lovers in New York City!
Rona, who was born in Miami Beach loves reconnecting with her strong roots and her “Florida Family” line dancers when she visits. Today, she makes her living in NYC as a certified Group Fitness Instructor (AFAA) and Certified Personal Trainer (NASM), working for New York Sports Clubs since 2000. She teaches a number of dedicated Seniors in her many “Silver Sneakers” classes and is also a licensed Zumba/Zumba Gold instructor. Teaching line dance is her passion and she continues to maintain her weekly Beginner and Intermediate classes in New York City. She currently teaches Intermediate/Advanced choreography on a regular basis with The Outer Rim NY/NJ since 2007. In 1997 Rona started traveling to teach at Line dance events all around the USA.
“Cheers” and blessings to all of the dancers that Rona has met and danced with over all of these years…..this “sport” of ours is an unbelievable phenomenon….an experience that provides us with a tremendous health benefit, a much needed and appreciated social interaction and huge amounts of joy whenever we dance, whenever we see each other….a true blessing indeed!
