HI! I'M VICKY RAINBOW
I’m the creative force behind Soulshine Dance, where joy, movement, and heartfelt connection meet. With years of experience guiding people to find freedom and expression through dance, I’ve learned that movement is not just about steps—it’s about the story, the soul, and the space we share together.
My teaching blends simple choreography with expressive flow, making dance accessible, playful, and deeply creative. I offer both group classes and 1-to-1 sessions, supporting people to move in ways that unlock joy, confidence, and authentic self-expression.
Alongside facilitating dance, I’m also passionate about creating performances that weave together voice, movement, and collective expression. Through collaborative projects, I use my vocal performance work as another pathway into connection and creativity—blurring the boundaries between dance, sound, and shared experience.
Though I haven’t taken formal trainings in recent years, my path has been rich with lived experience, personal practice, and an evolving understanding of what it means to truly shine. I’m currently exploring new ways to deepen my craft and bring even more creativity, heart, and community spirit to my work.
If you’re looking for dance that connects you to your body, your creativity, and your community, I’d love to welcome you to the Soulshine space—where every step and every sound is a step toward your own radiant self.
