What are people saying about Rachel?
"I have known Rachel Shed for 8 years, since my daughter first began dancing at Lisa’s Dance Connection. My daughter and I would watch Rachel on stage and would be awestruck by her skill and her natural ability to perform. Rachel is a dancer my daughter, Haley, has always looked up to and aspired to be like. To see Rachel transform into this amazing teacher, choreographer and role model for many of the girls at the study has been a true blessing. Rachel is a joy to work with and her fierce determination, work ethic and true love of dance shines through in each piece she choreographs. She challenges my daughter (now 11) with her solo choreography pieces and encourages her each step of the way with a wonderful balance of discipline and fun. Rachel is a major reason for Haley’s love of tap dancing and we are truly grateful for the confidence she inspires. I could go on and on about Rachel Shed, but will end by saying I hope one day you have the pleasure of working with this phenomenal young lady."

"Rachel embodies everything that dance should be - passion, creativity, emotion and dedication. On the dance floor, you cannot take your eyes off her. She quickly steals your heart and the show! In the studio, she inspires students with her positive attitude and incredible work ethic. My daughter looks up to her as both a dancer and a role model, and I've watched my daughter grow immensely in her confidence level and technical training under Rachel's direction. Her talent and desire to share her love for dance are unparalleled. We love Miss Rachel!"

"Rachel is such an amazing teacher! My daughter has had Rachel as her choreographer/teacher for not only her Company Tap classes but she’s had the privilege of having her as a choreographer for her hip-hop duet. You can tell that Rachel puts in a lot of time and effort into what she teaches. She always has a positive attitude and gets as excited at the end result as her dancers do. She’s very supportive of her students and shows professionalism in all she does. She is very encouraging and patient with students of all ages. Rachel is not only a great teacher/choreographer but a great mentor and role model to the younger kids who look up to her. Her enthusiasm and passion for dance is evident in all she does."
