Destined 2 Dance Studio and Performing Arts is a non-profit organization which was founded by Rachel Jackson and Aderemi Rucker on November 1, 2003. Having danced together for over 10 years as praise dance duo Pirouettes of Praise, Rachel and Remi received many inquiries about classes after ministering in dance at church services and events. These inquiries encouraged them to establish a dance school where others could learn various dance techniques from a Christian perspective. Thus, the birth of Destined 2 Dance.

Our Purpose

The purpose for establishing a dance school such as this was to bring inspiration and light as well as structure and discipline to the surrounding community in a fun and jovial manner. Destined 2 Dance is a performing arts school designed to be a refuge where one can find relaxation for the mind, strength for the body, and healing for the soul. Destined 2 Dance Studio is committed to promoting and preserving the arts while educating through the vehicle of dance. We are dedicated to insuring that the children, youth, and adults of the Bay Area have a positve environment to learn various styles of dance including ballet, jazz, praise dance, modern and hip-hop. We believe that dancing builds self-esteem on and off the stage. At Destined 2 Dance, we not only teach our students dance technique, we are equipping them with practical skills to implement in their daily lives such as presentation, posture, poise and improvisation.

Destined 2 Dance does not discriminate on the basis of economic status, height, weight, gender, race, national origin, creed, veteran status, sexual orientation, disability, or age. The organization seeks to present equal opportunities for all individuals interested in learning the art and discipline of dance.
