About the Spotlight
Sassi Fran and Eliza Viera are teaming up for a February beginner/intermediate jazz funk spotlight! This two-hour workshop will cover roughly one minute of choreography, with an emphasis on performance quality, camera awareness, and clean, intentional lines.
Both Sassi Fran and Eliza are Rae Studios jazz funk and K-pop instructors who have founded K-pop cover groups in San Francisco. After teaching back-to-back Monday classes, they quickly realized they’re often on the same wavelength: sharing similar dance backgrounds, movement sensibilities, and creative instincts (plus, they’re very cute)!
In 2026, they’ll be leaning into a more vogue-influenced style after taking a vogue intensive together, and will be co-leading a jazz funk performance workshop in April. This February spotlight is your chance to get a sneak peek at how that fusion comes to life. 👯♀️

Elizabeth is a lifelong dancer with over 25 years of experience. She began her training in competitive jazz, tap, and ballet, building a strong technical foundation that continues to shape her performative style. While she’s explored many genres over the years, she found her true love in jazz-funk, K-pop, and musical theater — styles that let her fully embrace character, storytelling, and expression.
Now based in San Francisco, Elizabeth brings a bright, energetic presence to everything she does. She is the creative director of the Baybaes, a casual K-pop cover group, and an avid weightlifter. She blends artistry and athleticism in her approach to dance, with a focus on helping people feel strong, confident, and at home in their bodies — wherever they are in their movement journey.
Her classes emphasize performance and are infused with influences from many styles and cultures. She’s trained in four languages across Detroit, New York, Toronto, Tokyo, and San Francisco. After three years as a dancer in the RAE community and participating in four performance workshops, Elizabeth is thrilled to join the RAE teaching team.
