Rachel is very excited to return as the Director of the Starettes. She started dancing when she was five
years old and just can't stop! Her formal training includes years of studio lessons in jazz, tap, ballet,
lyrical, modern, pointe, and high-kick. Most recently, Rachel was training for competitive ballroom
dancing. Injuries from a car accident have put that plan on hold, but she loves coaching and is grateful
for the opportunity to work with such a talented group of dancers. Rachel started choreographing and
teaching dance out of her basement when she was 13 years old. She has coached the Bloomington
Kennedy Kolleens Dance Team, directed and choreographed for a semi-pro basketball organization's
performance team, and taught dance-based programs and group fitness classes at Northwest Athletic
Club and Lifetime Fitness.
The Starettes are available for performances at various events. For more information about
performance opportunities contact Starettes Director Rachel Filippi at
