                       Versatile Dancer | Model 

Hello and welcome to my PurplePort!

I'm Rachel, professional dancer and published model. I have been in this industry since 2011, but being new to this site I'd be happy to retrieve some external references on request.

I have trained consistently in most genres of dance since the age of 4, and began my professional contemporary-focused training from the age of 17- 21. 

Why work with me? 

I am always very professional, punctual and reliable. 

It is very important to me that a photographer gets the shot/ concept they are after. I am willing to go the extra mile, some previous examples include dancing barefoot outside on an iced-over morning, and being submerged in a seaweed pool on the beach.

I have a vocabulary of poses I have built over the years. I do take direction very well, but don't need it. I also love collaborating and suggesting ideas. 

Being a dancer, I know my body well, and have a good flexibility. I have a natural poise, confidence and facial performance ability. I am used to improvising movement on the spot. 

I have re-worked with the same academies, groups and photographers frequently over the last 9 years. On both sides that shows a successful experience that we're happy to return to.

I have both male and female dance partners/ contacts who I would be happy to liaise with if you are after lifts or duo/ trio shots. 

Booking info: 

If you would like to work with me please send me a message with as much detail as possible: location, date, duration, wardrobe. I will always get back to you within 48 hours with my availability and rates. My rates are very reasonable and reflect my experience. 

I will not do TF for dance work, however I may be willing to do TF for certain concepts and alternative shoots that I feel I am lacking within my portfolio. I'd be more than happy to chat about this! 

Thanks for reading,

I hope to hear from you soon!
