Rachel Carscadden

YPAD & PBT Certified | Higher National Diploma, BATD Stage Dance Associate Diploma 

Originally from Scotland, Rachel moved to North Vancouver in 2017 fresh out of professional dance training at Edinburgh’s Dance For All. 

Rachel danced from age 6 to 21 with Matthew Dance Academy, Scotland and had always considered it a hobby. She then found out about Dance For All, through her instructor, and decided to pursue a career in dance!

Having immersed herself in the Vancouver dance scene almost immediately upon arrival, Rachel met many inspirational artists...some of which she now calls family! Rachel has landed music video contracts with various artists and has performed at Rifflandia, The Commodore and many more locations as a back up dancer with artist Sophia Danai.

Rachel has sat exams with the RAD, ISTD Modern/Tap, BATD up to her Associate Diploma, and successfully completed her Higher National Diploma in Professional Dance Performance with Edinburgh College & Dance For All.

Since living in BC, Rachel has also gained BCRPA Group Fitness, Barre Fitness and Physical Mind Pilates certificates.

Rachel loves to chat, help others and learn new skills. With previous administration experience and nine years retail experience she is excited to put her knowledge to great use and return to Driftwood Dance Academy for a second season!
