MEET YOUR TEACHERS

miss rachel

Miss Rachel is the Owner and Director of Unite Dance Studio, and is the one you’ll see everytime you’re at the studio. Whether it’s teaching your class, fitting your costumes, or standing outside the window madly cheering you on… she’s always around.

Known for her energy, enthusiasm and sheer love for dance, she’s obsessed with creating a studio environment that is positive, supportive, and truly inclusive for every dancer.

With over two decades of experience as a dance teacher (and almost double that as a dancer) she has a keen eye for technique and a passion for helping dancers reach their full potential. You can always expect to be challenged in Miss Rachel’s classes.

Loves: the joy on kids faces when they’re dancing, the moments of magic in Adult classes, warm-up stretches that make you feel like a superhero, sparkly costumes... (the more sparkles, the better!)

Does not love: being asked what her favourite dance style is, because it’s too hard to choose. She loves them all!

miss kobe

Your ultimate hype person. Miss Kobe brings good vibes, big encouragement, and always makes her students feel confident and capable.

She mostly teaches Hip Hop classes at Unite nowadays, however she is an all-rounder with a wealth of both teaching and dance experience, and a not-so-secret love for Jazz and Lyrical. (She might even tell you about her days as a Cheerleader, if you ask!)

With Miss Kobe, you can always expect a class environment where you feel supported, confident, and free to be yourself.

Miss Kobe is always super encouraging and down-to-earth, focusing on strong foundations, personal growth, and finding your own groove... no pressure, no ego.

Expect clear guidance, plenty of hype when it’s deserved, and a few laughs along the way.

Oh and, watch out for her legendary music mixes. You’ll see what we mean!

miss olivia

With a gentle approach, an impressive tolerance for slow, controlled pliés, and a deep love for all things dance, Miss Olivia creates a welcoming space in her classes where dancers can build confidence, strength, and grace.

Miss Olivia has extensive training in more styles than we can name, and her well-rounded background allows her to support dancers of all styles, connect technique across disciplines, and help students develop strength, artistry, and versatility.

She knows exactly how it feels to wobble through your first arabesque… and she will be the one to cheer the loudest for you when you nail it.

Miss Olivia’s classes focus on strong foundations, mindful technique, and nurturing each dancer’s individual journey – always allowing students to grow at their own pace while feeling supported and valued.

Warning: may occasionally break into spontaneous jazz hands mid-class.
