Fancy Headshots and New Opportunities

This past week I took fancy headshots for something I am really excited about doing! I used to teach ballet a few years ago, and if you don’t know ballet has always been a major part of my life. I recently had the opportunity to do it again. I have joined the staff at Integral Ballet. Currently, I will be teaching there on Thursday evenings starting in September. When I have more details I will post my schedule. If you live in the area and have children in the age range of my classes and would like to enroll them, please do! I’d love to share the joy of ballet with your child.

Please see my ballet bio: During her first ballet class, Ms. Rachel stood with her arms in fifth position and declared herself a pretty pink princess. From that day on, she pirouetted her way from class to class, eventually landing herself at the prestigious Professional Performing Arts School where she trained in mostly the Cecchetti technique. Looking to expand her horizons, she began taking classes at Broadway Dance Center under Kat Wildish. Rachel spent her summers training under Gloria Bowen who introduced her to the Vaganova technique (she finally learned to fold in her thumbs). She likes to joke she is a mixed bag of ballet. Rachel is a New York State certified ELA (grades 7-12) and literacy teacher (grades 5-12) with extensive experience in special education.
