— Johnny Autin, Creative Director, Autin Dance Theatre
Rachel was the perfect choice of choreographer for the requirements of our production.
Her professional and approachable manner made the students warm to her and yet they respected the challenges she provided for them, and work hard to meet her high expectations.
Rachel adapted the classic Bob Fosse choreographic style effectively for a range of performers with a diverse level of confidence and abilities. Our students created a visually exciting and impressive interpretation of some of the classic dances from ‘Chicago’.
The impact on the cast has been visible, with many girls subsequently being inspired to move more, dance outside of school and this is all thanks to Rachel. She was an absolute pleasure to work with.
