Rachel has been teaching dance for the past 13 years. She loves to work with children of all ages but has a special interest in the younger age groups. Rachel has worked at various dance studios in the North Seattle, Spokane, and Eastside areas.  She has choreographed for several competitive dance groups as well as floor and beam routines for competitive gymnasts. Her competitive routines have won numerous high score awards and she has also been recognized for outstanding choreography.  Rachel loves to watch children learn and grow as dancers and people and will continue to teach as long as she possibly can.  She is very excited to join the faculty at Studio 1 and looks forward to getting to know the dancers and families of Studio 1!
