Rachel Good began dancing, performing in recitals and tip toeing around the house, at the age of three. Through her interest in dance, she soon became very interested in theatre and film acting and began to take classes through ACT in New York. She moved to Chicago at the age of 7 and trained with Ballet Chicago and Trinity Irish Dance Company where she had many opportunities to perform in parades and shows all around the city. After moving back to New Jersey at the age of 10, Rachel joined Dream Xtreme Dance Company and began competing in ballet, jazz, musical theater, tap, modern, lyrical, contemporary, and hip hop. Since joining Perfect Pointe Performing Arts Studio's Company under the direction of Jessica Barlow and Rebecca McCormac, she traveled a variety of places competing in regional and national dance competitions like NUVO, JUMP, and NYCDA. One of Rachel's favorite memories from her dance education was always attending New York City Dance Alliance Nationals in New York City every year. Living an hour outside New York City, Rachel takes advantage of the opportunities the city provides, regularly taking classes at Broadway Dance Center, Steps on Broadway, and Peridance Capezio. Rachel's choice of college was dependent upon the availability of both a great engineering program and a challenging dance program. Since being at UVA she has been heavily involved in dance on grounds, performing in the Fall and Spring concerts, joining Virginia Dance Company, attending ACDA, and beginning to take classes for her Dance Minor, while still remaining dedicated to her engineering coursework. She is extremely excited and honored to be accepted into this amazing program. She is particularly anxious to rekindle her love and involvement in other arts like drama that have been overshadowed by a busy schedule in high school, while continuing to expand her education in dance.
