RACHEL GREENE

Rachel Greene (she/her) is a contemporary dance artist originally from the Hudson Valley area in New York. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in dance from SUNY Brockport where as a student, she performed in faculty and guest artist works, developed a passion for stage management, and honed her choreographic voice through the creation of several original works. Rachel also studied at the University of Stavanger’s Faculty of Performing Arts in Stavanger, Norway and has attended summer programs at Orsolina28 in Moncalvo, Italy. Her choreographic work, which often explores themes of existentialism and absurdism through theatricality, has been presented at the American College Dance Association regional festival, Dances at MuCCC, Atlanta’s Fall4Fall dance festival, and commissioned for SUNY Brockport’s New Dancer’s Showcase. Rachel is a freelance dancer in the Rochester area and a company performer with Kaley Pruitt Dance, which she joined in 2025 and is currently touring with. She joined the faculty of the Draper School for Dance Education in the spring of 2026, originally as a guest teacher for Various Styles. Her teaching methodologies in both ballet and modern techniques center somatic awareness, improvisation, and body efficiency tailored specifically to each dancer.
