Hi love, I'm so happy our paths have crossed!
Teaching silk fan dance has been a true labor of love. Over the years, I’ve poured my heart into crafting a school that meets you exactly where you’re at. Whether you’re brand new to silk fans or have been dancing with silks for years, you'll find growth here.
Inside Chrysalis Silk Studies, you’ll experience a growing library of trainings designed to support your unique journey. You’ll build a strong technical foundation, expand your skills and transitions, and refine your confidence and stage presence. All while unearthing a full-body flow language that feels authentic and true to you.
With over 30 years of dance and performance experience, my approach blends the structure of classical technique with the freedom of flow arts. Yes, you’ll learn a wide range of technical skills and movements... but this work goes far beyond technique alone. Together, we explore how silk fan dance can become a pathway into embodied authenticity, creative expression, and the healing, meditative space of flow state.
All courses are available on your own time, at your own pace, and from anywhere in the world. When you join, you’re stepping into a global community of over 1,500 students across 60 countries — all devoted to deepening their relationship with movement, artistry, and self-expression.

Meet Your Teacher, Rae Chrysalis
I have always been a mover. Performing the past 3 decades, I’m classically trained in ballet, contemporary, jazz, heels, and other styles. After years of competitive dance and performing with contemporary companies, I discovered silk fans in 2018 while performing in the music festival scene. It was instant love.
Since then, I’ve developed my own style, Silk Fan Fusion, which blends classical dance technique with flow arts and soulful expression. While distinct from traditional fan dance forms, I hold deep respect for the Chinese origins of fan dance. Learn more about fan dance origins →
I’ve toured with artists like Seven Lions and Ayla Nereo, and performed at festivals including Envision, Shambhala, Lightning in a Bottle, Unison, Burning Man, and more. These experiences, combined with my devotion to the healing power of movement, shape the depth and intention I bring to teaching. Drawing on my education in transformative ritual work, I create spaces that are both skill‑building and soul‑nourishing. Through Chrysalis Silk Studies, I’ve taught thousands of students in over 60 countries, guiding them to master silk fans and connect with their most authentic expression. In addition to this school, I offer 1‑on‑1 mentorships, embodiment workshops, and group immersions—all rooted in the belief that movement is medicine.
I stand for the raw and the real. Freedom of expression in its fullest sense. Join me.
