“Hello, my name is Ranjana (my fam calls me Ranju) and I'm Rachel's "Ranjumami ''. Since we are family in the same town, I have had the pleasure of watching Rachel grow...always a bubbly girl, with a kind heart, who always noticed details and was very sensitive to ensuring no one's feelings were hurt. She was always quite mature for her age. She grew up to be a dependable and loyal friend, cousin, niece, daughter and eventually a loving wife and dedicated mom! That speaks to Rachels values.....
Now let's speak about Rachel as a dancer, she was trained in classical dancing, she loved dancing since she was a little girl. And when she danced her eyes lit up. Her joy for dance never faded as she grew, not only was she in College South Asian Dance and Garba teams, she was involved in a lot of our family and community cultural programs. One could say dance and music were intrinsic part of her core values when she was born.....
....Then comes Rachel as a teacher. Rachel has many qualities, one of them is patience. As we are a huge family, there were years were would have 8-10 Family weddings/baby showers etc and each of this event will have at least 2-3 dances minimum. The dancers were an ill coordinated group of people from the age of 3-75! Rachel would put in the time to pick the song, create steps/choreo/ video it and then break down the steps in small pieces to help us understand and teach. Never do I remember that she has lost her temper, changed her tone and made you feel that you are less. And each time the dance turned out spectacular as you can see in the videos.
So you may ask what is so unique about Rachel? Why should we consider for our event....The uniqueness is her ability to have all these great qualities packaged in her: talent, passion, patience and the joy of teaching. The whole experience leaves you feeling good and confident that you can do it this and as you get older and out of practice it is so important and that translates into our dances. You will see the Moms group smiling through these dances..."can do attitude, clearly shows" and that is Rachel!
Consider for your next event - you won't be disappointed.”
