Teacher Rachel

Favorite Ballet Storytime Story

I love Coppelia! The silly storytelling elements of Dr. Coppelius and dancing like dolls are always so much fun to teach. I love seeing my dancers light up at the whimsical silliness that can be a part of ballet!

Favorite Ballet Step

I love to teach rond de jambe. Something about seeing your dancers put together such a simple but strong movement is really exciting.

Do you have a go-to animal for inspiration during Animal Dances?

Butterflies!

Favorite Thing About Teaching at Tutu School

I love spending time with my special dancers. I love seeing them grow and make friends, and gain confidence through dance!
