Rachel Wilson ("Phoenix") has been belly dancing since 2002 and has taught in Fayette County since 2004. A lover of Middle Eastern music, food, and art, Rachel shares her knowledge of Raqs Sharqi, or traditional Middle Eastern dance, with women and children of all ages and all fitness levels. Her classes at World Gym PTC are a reflection of her continual evolution as a dancer - students are taught fresh, interpretive choreographies during each hour-long class. Students are taught belly dance basics, including posture and simple isolations, and learn moves and combinations that raise dancers' heart rates and spirits!

When I am not teaching, I am very happily busy keeping up with my four children ages 1-13, decorating cakes, going to Little League games, and hanging out with my high school sweetheart/ hubby.
