Rachel Feinerman has been a teacher of Modern Simonson Technique since 2000. Simonson Technique, developed by Lynn Simonson, is a comprehensive and anatomically based technique that prepares the body to dance with awareness and safety.

Influenced by many years of performance, and different movement styles, Rachel’s class offers students the opportunity to focus on strengthening technique and performance quality in a fun and relaxed environment. Rachel’s choreography emphasizes lush movement, spinal articulation, musicality and achieving honesty in performance. Her music selection is expansive, giving students a range of experiences in aesthetics and style.
