Rachel has been studying dance since she was three. She began at the Academia Soria Arch
in Córdoba, Argentina where she danced Ballet, Spanish Classical and Flamenco. She then began classes with Guru Naba Singha in 2001 when she moved to the United States, learning various Indian folk styles and Kathak. Throughout high school, she became involved in Bellydance, studying at various locations around Washington DC. Her technique was perfected at the University of Maryland, where she received a Bachelor of Arts in Dance.
Her eclectic background has led her to be a fusion dancer. She strives to find connections between the dance forms she has studied and how the cultures from which they originate have come into contact. It is especially interesting to her that Kathak may be the ancestor of Flamenco, which in turn has also been influenced greatly by North African rhythms and Bellydance.
Dance can be enjoyed by everyone and can connect people in a deeply meaningful way. Dancing can provide an individual with confidence and personality, and is also a means by which societies are unified through tradition. Moreover, it grants them an outlet for expression.
Rachel has performed in cultural exchange nights at the University of Maryland Baltimore County and the University of Maryland College Park, at festivals, at studio recitals, and various private events. She has taught children and adults and given guest lectures at universities such as Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA. She has most recently conducted a workshop in Yorktown, VA organized by Angora Tribal.
