Rachael Coad has been a proud Two Rivers parent since 2019. She truly cherishes our school and flourishing community. She has a rising Pre-k4 student and a rising 2nd grader who has been at Two Rivers since Pre-k3. She grew up in Northern Virginia, went away to Forth Worth to receive her BFA in Ballet and Modern Dance at Texas Christian University, and then stayed working in the DFW metroplex for about 7 years, before happily returning to the East Coast in 2018. She stays busy and active in the DC arts community, performing with local companies, including UpRooted Dance, Aru Dell’Arte, and The Lion’s Den, as well as teaching various dance styles to students of all ages at Capitol Hill Arts Workshop, Joy of Motion Dance Center, and in the public school through The Washington Ballet’s DanceDC Program. She also curates arts events for The Ground Floor Project under Wood Partners for luxury apartment communities all over the East Coast. She is excited to bring her passions for rich relationships and experiences and adventures to her role in the Two Rivers PSA and hopes to be the wonderful support system that so many Two Rivers families were to her and her husband and daughters when they first joined the crew!
