Rae Studios' Continued Commitment to Women Empowerment


Rae Studios is a woman owned, woman lead, women powered, and women EMPOWERING community. We celebrate all the women of Rae Studios every day. When one of us wins, we all win. Last month we celebrated #WomensHistoryMonth by creating this video dedication for the beautiful, bold, badass, ground breaking, trail blazing, table shaking Rae Studios instructors because we are the safe, welcoming, celebratory space and community because of each of them.

Rae Studios remains dedicated to uplifting and celebrating women all year round. There are so many women who have paved the way for us and inspire us to keep on going, as entrepreneurs, as dancers, as artists, as educators, as community leaders, and as agents of change. We are thankful for the women who have made history and are making history. Who did it on their own. Who are doing it on their own. Who remind us that even when we do, do it on our own…we’re never alone. We got each other. There is nothing more powerful than empowered women empowering women. We asked our instructors and staff who were women that inspire them and heard about all types of women: dancers, singers, school teachers, politicians, athletes, and more. This video is dedicated to them and the countless women continuing to inspire the world.
