Hi! My name is Rachel Christophe, and I play the role of the Snow Queen. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am 18 years old and have been dancing since the age of 3. As I got a little older, I started competitive gymnastics and also began singing and acting. I have earned lead roles in school plays and community theater, performed in countless dance recitals, conventions and competitions, and also appeared in the Muny. In 2007, I earned 2nd Place for my All-Around score at the Illinois State Gymnastics Meet and also earned the title of Illinois State Balance Beam Champion. In 2010, I earned the title of American Kids Entertainer of the Year at their national competition held in Branson, MO. In addition to performing, I have been student teaching dance classes for several years and started teaching my own classes in January of 2014. I am currently teaching kids of all ages. I love working with children, and it makes me happy to see the smiles on their faces. I would love to make an appearance at your next party or event and help make your little princess' day a little more magical!
