Zoey Tingler is a 5th-year teacher at Newport High School, and Rachel Newby has taught at NHS for 13 years and is starting her 14th year.
The two friends were standing in Rachel’s classroom when they were asked if they would be interested in Dancing with the Coastal Stars. They both thought it would be fun to try something new, and they’ve each wanted to learn how to tap dance for a long time. Zoey is especially excited to put on her tap shoes!
Outside of school, Zoey enjoys spending her weekends painting by the river, attending dinner parties, and gardening with her cat. Rachel recently took the stage as Anna in Frozen this past February and March, an experience that turned her into a firm believer in the power of wigs and jazz shoes to transform a performance.
They’re excited to take on this new adventure together and see where their tap shoes take them!
