Rose Lewis
Rose Lewis is a fourth-generation performer born in Orange County, CA. She grew up harmonizing with The LaVerne Tripp Family on TBN tours while her father, speaker-musician Terry Tripp, criss-crossed the nation.
But Rose’s rhythm pulled her toward dance. After meeting future husband Anthony Lewis, she dove head-first into partner styles, earning professional certifications in Country, Swing, Ballroom and Latin. Together the pair co-created X Dance, the world’s first interactive virtual training platform, and amassed the web’s largest social following for a dance studio.
Rose’s teaching is famed for its relaxed, question-friendly vibe: practical footwork fixes with a dash of Disney optimism that mirrors the homeschooling mom’s everyday energy. She has demonstrated those skills for millions on CMT, FOX, ABC’s series Nashville, and a live Two-Step lesson on Live with Kelly and Mark.
Offstage, Rose carries a star-studded heritage. She is the great-granddaughter of Golden-Age screen duo Jo Ann Dru and crooner Dick Haymes, and the great-niece of legendary Hollywood Squares host Peter Marshall.
From 360-degree livestream classes to packed tour stops, Rose Lewis keeps the family torch blazing—now the spotlight is on the dance floor worldwide today.
