We are beyond thrilled to welcome Broadway legend and studio friend Rachelle Rak back to TDC for an incredible week of training, inspiration, and growth. Rachelle’s energy, passion, and wealth of professional experience make every class unforgettable. Whether your dancer dreams of Broadway or simply wants to become stronger, more versatile performer, this is an opportunity they won’t want to miss!

Rachelle has performed in and choreographed some of Broadway’s biggest productions, and she has a unique ability to inspire dancers while challenging them to reach new levels of artistry, confidence and technique. Students leave her classes feeling motivated, empowered, and excited about their future in the performing arts.

This week is about so much more than learning steps. It’s about building confidence, discovering new strengths, developing performance skills, and learning from one of the industry’s most respected artists. Rachelle creates a positive, uplifting environment where dancers are encouraged to take risks, work hard, and believe in themselves.

Opportunities like this are rare, especially right here in the Upper Valley. We encourage dancers to take advantage of as many classes as possible and immerse themselves in a week that is sure to be both educational and unforgettable.
