Jessica Rae is the founder and CEO of Rae Model & Talent Agency LLC and Rae Studios, a talent agency and dance studio located in downtown San Francisco, California, established in 2011. Jessica’s mission is to create jobs that directly support dance professionals in the Bay Area. Both of her businesses work hand in hand, providing talents with the option to work multiple jobs and positions. Jessica represents over 50 dance, movement, and wellness instructors and over 150 models and dancers for film/print/event jobs, with some talents having dual representation.  

 

Jessica is a graduate from San Francisco State University with a BA in Speech and Communications and an emphasis on public speaking, which led her to on-camera work. Jessica has been featured in various print and film advertisements, such as Muscle Milk, Fitbit, Acura, Facebook, and 24hr Fitness. She also worked with artists including Ludacris, Lady Gaga, Kid Rock, and Bebe Rexha.

 

In 2022, Jessica represented dance and women’s entrepreneurship as a selected judge for Miss America, interviewing 50 candidates for the position.

 

As a talent agent, Jessica has built a diverse network that has allowed her team to work with clients such as Netflix, Fever, HBO, Comcast, and NBC.

 

Thanks to Jessica's work as a community leader, Rae Studios was granted a 2nd year contract to host free outdoor dance classes that are funded and supported by the City of San Francisco. Now FREE dance classes can be found at UN Plaza, Union Square and Mission Rock.  This has provided additional  job opportunities for local instructors, further driving Jessica's mission.

 

Today, you can find Jessica as an active talent agent, instructor at Rae Studios and Equinox, and speaker for educational workshops around entrepreneurship and leadership!
