Rachel has been teaching dance in New York for more than 20 years at studios such as Gibney, Peridance, Mark Morris, Dance New Amsterdam, Dance Space, and Barnard College. After graduating from Barnard College with a B.A. in Dance and Political Science, she has performed for Laurie De Vito & Dancers since 1999, and also for Daria Fain, Ricardo Gomez Dance Theatre, Aynsley Vandenbroucke, Wilson Mendieta, Sita Mani, and many others. She was cast in a variety of film, photo, and art projects including Julie Taymor’s Across the Universe, and co-founded a performance workshop company for adult dance students.
 Certified in teaching the Simonson technique, an injury-preventative, and scaffolded dance teaching methodology, Rachel also studied qi-gong and Pilates for many years before her love for anatomy and creative somatic work finally drew her to the Kane School in 2021 where she is honored to be part of the Kinected residency program. She currently teaches mat and reformer classes, supervises students in the training program, and sees individual clients at Kinected.
