RIP Miss Rachel (Mr Evans mother),
Who sadly passed away on the 5th of May 2025.
Miss Rachel was such a special part of FairStage Academy! She was loved by all students who she met! And she loved them all dearly.
She is/was an amazing lady whose passion, dedication and love was second to none! Her devotion to her children to be the best they can be lead to Mr Evan to start FairStage with her and mr Ryan back in 2013
She was a beautiful kind person who was well loved by everyone, she was a loving Mother who would do anything for her children, and also a wonderful Teacher to her dance students too… (she will be forever remembered for her stunning costumes, her humour, her wonderful ideas, her kindness, and of course those diva moments which we all loved, which made her the legend she was)!
Miss Rachel was the heart and soul of ‘FairStage Academy’, she would be there at every single show sewing costumes for her beloved students, she loved each and every one of her students dearly, and spent countless hours supporting us in all ways someone could support…
On one occasion, Miss Rachel managed to somehow find it within her strength to do all of the costumes for a show, with a broken neck after just getting out of hospital, this shows what a wonderful person she was, she was the sort of person who put everyone else before herself!
She was a great giver of hugs when staff and students struggled, she made us all laugh with her incredibly sharp tongue and she was never afraid of giving Mr Evan or Mr Ryan the look of disapproval when she didn’t agree with decisions they made!
She was a very special woman who we were lucky to have, she will be missed dearly!
She taught Mr Evan his first dance step when he was a child, she gave him his confidence to pursue his dream as a dancer, and he did achieve it! Thanks to her dedication and determination!
Mr Evan is proud to carry on his Mums legacy as a dance teacher and parent… he hopes to be as great as she was! He hopes to make her the proudest she can be!
We may have lost her, but the angels have gained another angel. Keep dancing Miss Rach! We love you!
We will be holding a little memorial for miss Rachel at Mr Evans and Mr Ryan new studio in Bury on Sunday 1st of June at 2:30pm for any students or ex FairStage staff to share memories and to say goodbye.
