Rachel is a former NFL cheerleader for the New York Jets Flight Crew and San Francisco 49ers Gold Rush, with 3 years in the NFL and one Super Bowl appearance. She has danced since the age of 3, originally training in Broadway style jazz and eventually falling in love with pro team style. She attended Bucknell University where she was an Arts Merit Scholar for Dance and Dance Minor. She was a four year member and two year captain & choreographer on the Bucknell Bison Girls Dance Team, presenting her choreography on the basketball court and stages across campus. After college, she danced and choreographed for Danceworks NYC, a NYC company. Since retiring from NFL cheerleading, Rachel channels her passion into helping dancers find their spark and make their dream team in both group classes and private training.


This will be Rachel's second class with us! She made her AVA debut in Nov. 2025 during a collab class with AVA instructor Monica. Rachel and Monica were collegiate teammates on the Bucknell Bison Girls Dance Team.
