Reliable, Polished, and So Easy to Work With!

Rachael was absolutely wonderful to work with! She arrived right on time, which I really appreciated. She was extremely professional throughout and made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. She was also very accommodating to our needs and requests, and her talent truly shows in her work. You can tell she takes pride in what she does. I would highly recommend Rachael and would definitely work with her again!

Captivating

Rachel Noel is an absolute force of nature on stage. From the moment she began to dance, the room was spellbound. Her energy is captivating and her stage presence radiates with a divine feminine power that feels like true goddess guidance. Every movement carried grace, posture, and poise, yet was filled with fire that ignited the entire crowd.

She seamlessly flowed from global bass to reggaeton, Cumbia, dembow, and dancehall without ever missing a beat. Her ability to blend so many rhythms with such authenticity and style is nothing short of inspiring. By the end of the night, the audience wasn’t just watching — she had us all up dancing with her, caught under her mystical spell.

Rachel Noel doesn’t just perform — she transforms the space and moves the soul. A phenomenal artist and a must-have for any event.

What a show😍

It was so easy and lovely to work with Rachel. Extremely professional. Showed up on time. Was very flexible. She was able to entertain both children and teenagers as well as adults and the show was a hit. She moves in most mesmerizing ways, and nobody could take their eyes off of her. I’m going to be taking classes from her now.

Will Definitely be booking again!

We hired Rachel as a Belly Dancer for our private party and she was more than we asked for! Not only is Rachel a beautifully skilled professional, but kind and adaptive. We had some changes to the event and she was able to adjust to the atmosphere and absolutely amaze everyone. We look forward to booking Rachel again!

What to expect

About

My name is Rachel Noel and I'm an award- winning professional fusion belly dancer and teacher living in Oakland CA.
My work is inspired by a lifetime of study in multiple genres of dance, as well as music, theatre and poetry.
Significant influences on my dance practice include belly dance, jazz, hip- hop, modern dance, as well as my experience as a go- go dancer. Fusion dance is special to me because it allows me to collect these inspirations into one moment and create something boundless! When I'm not dancing, I'm working with families or in the community as an educator, caretaker, event producer and arts administrator. My biggest passion and purpose in life is to spread creative joy and explore ways to bring people together!

Additional booking notes

If I'm bringing my own music, it's always lovely to have access to a sound system I can plug into with my device.
If no sound system is available, let me know and I'll provide my own!
Other factors that are great to know ahead of time include whether the performance will take place inside or outside,
and what kind of flooring I'm being requested to dance on.
I can provide simple lighting if there is an outlet nearby.

Set list

I cater my set lists to the needs of your event!
Let me know what vibe or energy you're after and I'll do my best to meet your vision!

Influences and inspiration

My dance influences include bellydance, jazz, contemporary & modern, hip- hop and West African.
Dancers that have been a huge inspiration to me include Zoe Jakes, Kami Liddle, Esmerelda Colabone, and Isadora Frances Sharon.

Setup requirements

Not required, but a sound system is highly desired!
