Rebekah is a born and raised native of Asheville, North Carolina, where she received all of her formal dance training prior to joining Carolina Ballet Theatre. Most recently, she trained in a post-graduate program at the Ballet Conservatory of Asheville under the artistic leadership of Angie Lynn. In addition to her training during the school year, Rebekah also had the privilege of attending multiple prestigious summer intensives including programs with Washington Ballet, Richmond Ballet, Sarasota Ballet, Philadelphia Ballet, and UNC School of the Arts. Rebekah is now a second year pre-professional company dancer with CBT where she continues to master her technique and artistic abilities.
Rebekah’s first introduction to being a dance educator arose when she became a teacher assistant at her local dance studio at the age of 12. At the age of 16, Rebekah became a substitute dance instructor, teaching both classical ballet and contemporary technique. She officially became part of her home studios faculty at age 20, where she has continued teaching. Rebekah has also been granted a multitude of choreographic opportunities, creating a range of works from solos to large group pieces in varying styles. Rebekah is thrilled to continue her journey as a dance educator, joining the incredible faculty of DanceArts Greenville!
