Rachel Levitt is a dance teacher and choreographer, with a career that has taken her across Canada, the USA and UK. Highlights include Inspire Ballet and Dance (UK), Stagecoach (Mississauga and Oakville), Attitudes Master Class (Markham), Rhythm Dance Studio (Toronto), and the highly acclaimed summer training institution Stagedoor Manor (USA) where she taught classes in ballet, jazz, modern, musical theatre and Fosse, worked as an assistant choreographer for four musicals (Leap of Faith, Seussical, All Shook Up and Oklahoma), and a choreographer for the play Picnic.
She is also the creator and lead choreographer of Dance: Corps, a performance company whose credits include Another Day in COVID-19 Land: Flash Show (in partnership with The Dance Plug TO), the short film Dancing in a Time of Quarantine (Convergence Theatre’s Covid Commissions), Counting Blessings for Grey Area Collective’s Art in Isolation, “Normal People” (The Assembly Theatre’s Window of Opportunity Festival) and Something Different (Nicole Decsey Dance Projects The Gallery Show #1).
Her teaching style is known for being challenging, and for inspiring hard work and creativity. The goal is for students to leave her direction able to (or on route to being able to) do things they couldn’t do before, and most importantly for them to find the best version of their dancing selves.
