21 Oct 283. DANCE + RACHAEL MARKARIAN
THIS IS DANCE + RACHAEL MARKARIAN
Rachael Markarian is a dancer, actor, choreographer, and author whose résumé runs from two Super Bowl Halftime Shows and world tours with Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Chayanne to Captain America: Brave New World, Top Gun: Maverick, and Netflix’s Sweet Magnolias. But the story that stayed with me wasn’t a credit, it was what happens when you’re at the top of one field and have to start over at the bottom of another. What does it take to build the room you aren’t being invited into, and what do you do when the door finally opens two days before the shoot?
Here’s what we’re exploring:
- The transition from in-demand pro dancer to actor, and the humbling reality that “because I said so” belief only gets you so far
- A booking story that nearly slipped away
- How she wrote The Dancer’s Edge, from a little student workbook to a four-act guide on mindset
This one’s for anyone who’s ever had to start over, or been told “we’ll get the next one” and kept going anyway. Rachael’s answer: advocate for yourself, create the opportunity if nobody hands it to you, and be ready for the “yes” before it arrives.
