The Community Center of La Cañada Flintridge, or CCLCF, has welcomed Los Angeles-based dancer and teacher Rachel Alex McKinnell to its team of instructors.
McKinnell will be teaching creative movement for the senior, adult and teen departments.
McKinnell, who grew up in La Crescenta, has 16 years of training and performance experience recreationally and competitively in all styles of dance. She studied at the prestigious Revolution Dance Center, where she now teaches full time. She was a Pro-Assistant at LA Dance Magic Convention, under the direction of Jackie Sleight, and has worked with multiple choreographers throughout her time in the dance community.
Executive Director Betsy Ferguson has known McKinnell for several years and is looking forward to having her join the team.
“In addition to Rachel being an incredible performer and choreographer, she is also an invested, hardworking and dedicated teacher,” said Ferguson. “I know our participants are going to love her.”
McKinnell is excited to bring her passion for dance to the Community Center.
“Come to dance, laugh and create,” she said. “Creative Movement is for all dancers, no matter what their ability level. Join me to learn to dance [and] to have fun!”
McKinnell will begin teaching at the beginning of the Spring 2 session, which is now open for registration.
