Intermediate Contemporary Modern

Service Description

Class will begin with a structured full body center warm-up before transitioning into more expansive movement and phrase work across the floor where dancers are encouraged to take up space and find the full expansiveness of their bodies. Class will end with musicality based choreography where there is room to be both precise and to make your own artistic choices in a friendly, non-judgmental environment. Rachel's goal is to allow for a space that fosters creativity and community, and allows each dancer to get what they need. Rachel Torres graduated from the University of California, San Diego with a BA in Literature with Honors and a minor in Dance, performing in works by Liam Clancy, Allyson Green, and Yolande Snaith during her time there. Upon graduation, Rachel began taking classes and working with independent artists in the San Diego community. She has had the pleasure of performing works by several local choreographers including John Malashock, Jean Isaacs, Terry Wilson, Sadie Weinberg, Debi Toth, Erica Buechner, Lavina Rich and Brianna Pilkinton. Rachel has performed as a guest artist with San Diego Dance Theater and LITVAKDance, and was a company dancer with the Malashock Dance Company from 2016-2020. Recently, Rachel was selected as an Emerging Artist in Dance for the Arts District Liberty Station 2025-2026 Residency.
