Class Description
Rachel’s Theatre Jazz class is a powerful, soulful experience that blends storytelling with strong technical foundation. Rooted in character, intention, and musicality, dancers explore what it means to move with both specificity and purpose. The choreography draws from both classic and contemporary influences, challenging dancers to bring their full selves (body, mind, and heart) to the room.

More than just a class, it’s a community. A space to grow, take risks, connect, and celebrate the shared joy of movement. Dancers will leave feeling uplifted, inspired, and more deeply connected to their artistry.
