Rewind: Our history
Fun facts: Seeholzer edition
Fast Forward: Through Humor and perseverance The professional dance world can be a frustrating place, even without the added challenge of multiple global crises. Rachel, however, has always been able to deflect that frustration with jokes as she continues pushing herself as an artist. That’s important, because the career path for many of us in dance is full of twists and turns with no clear destination. I know lots of dancers who have given up after a year or two of trying to decipher that map, but not Rachel.
My Advice: Everyone needs a Rachel on their side Many posts about individual dancers focus on the superstars of the industry, but our dance community as we’ve known it is built on the hard work and the technical ability of dancers like Rachel.
As we face the uncertainty of the post-COVID world, she is exactly the kind of person who will help us to build new, virtual communities. If you find yourself a Rachel, keep her.
