I have taken dance for most of my life and Rachel is honestly
one of the best teachers I have taken from. She has the ability to
cultivate an environment of learning and trust that helps dancers
thrive. My daughter has been taking a PBT class from her,
and my daughter's physical development during this class
has been a giant leap. I cannot recommend Rachel enough for
every level of dance training, and every age group.

Rachel's PBT classes really helped me better understand how to properly
engage my muscles during ballet class. This new information changed
the way I prepare for and take class in a way that better suits MY body,
and because of this, I have both seen and felt great improvement in
my personal practice! Not only has the strength I've gained from PBT
helped in my ballet classes, but also with contemporary, modern,
and jazz! Rachel's clear instruction, individual and group feedback was game changing.

Rachel's PBT classes are an excellent addition to my ballet classes.
With the PBT exercises, I have experienced greater awareness
in my body alignment and pathways of movement. PBT exercises
also allow me to strengthen certain muscles, including turnout.
Rachel is patient and nurturing yet she challenges me.
With Rachel's guidance, I feel safe to explore the edges of my body's ability

Rachel fine tunes exercises to encourage you to develop strength and control.
Whether in your core, turnout, feet, legs and arms; all parts of the body are
utilized and bring better definition to your practice. [...] always in awe of
how just shifting one or two inches in an exercise can drastically affect the movement.
Rachel is a wonderful instructor, after a few classes you will see why.
