Spring is here Rae Studios Family! We're super excited to launch our Quarter 2 2022 schedule with a roar!
Let's give a warm welcome to our new instructors joining us in Season 2, 2022. We have some new instructors joining us for the first time. As some may know, most of our teachers have been with us for many years and are ready for new adventures. A few of our local teachers have moved to other cities. Other instructors are continuing to expand in their art/field of wellness by opening up new brick and mortars, expanding their teaching careers, or venturing into other lifestyles. Either way, we are always so excited to watch our teachers in every step of their lives.
We are so thankful for every instructor who's dedicated their time, energy to share their wellness education and artistry over the past 11 years. Let's continue to show our support to our teachers by giving them some extra attention. Try out a class, share an IG story, bring a friend and be prepared to MOVE YOUR BODY. Dance and Fitness for all.
Welcome 2022 Season 2 teachers ❤️ Check out the video reel from our most recent photoshoot by Genevieve Parker and Robbie Gomez. Edited by Robbie.
