About Rachel
Instructor: Beginning and Intermediate Level Bellydance
Performer: American Cabaret/Modern Egyptian
Growing up, Rachel always dreamed of being some type of performer. Involved in the performing arts since the age of seven, Rachel’s performance background includes theatre, cheerleading, a brief stint with gymnastics and ballet, modern dance, hip hop, and most recently, belly dance.
Rachel’s love affair with belly dance was ignited in 1997, after her family moved to Turkey, but she did not begin seriously studying and learning until 2004, initially as a way to stay fit. She began teaching classes in 2007 and performing in 2008. Rachel has performed with Mississippi: The Dance Company, Leda Swan, Inc, Yocona International Arts Festival, InterActions, and other various community productions based in Oxford, MS, as well as birthday parties, anniversary parties and reunions. Her dance style is easiest classified as American Cabaret or American Restaurant style, due to the use of props, such as veils, finger cymbals, and canes. She continues to study, expand her knowledge, and strengthen her art form every chance she gets through videos, classes, and workshops with dancers such as Amira Mor, Tarik Sultan, Tito Seif, Willow Chang, Michelle Joyce, and Nadira Jamal.
Rachel is available for:
Girls' Night Out
Bachelorette Parties
Baby Showers
Birthday Parties*
Anniversary Parties
Reunions
Private Lessons
*Rachel is will only perform for female- only, or mixed audiences.
