Rebecca discovered her passion for ballet at an early age and started taking lessons at just two years old. She has trained in various classical ballet methods, including Balanchine, Cecchetti, and the Royal Academy of Dance, with a strong focus on the Vaganova method. 

 

Her classical repertoire includes principal and soloist roles in The Nutcracker, Don Quixote, Giselle, Paquita, Cinderella, Aladdin, Coppélia, Snow White, The Wizard of Oz, Romeo and Juliet, Swan Lake, The Little Mermaid as well as the titular role in The Snow Queen, an original ballet choreographed by the late, internationally recognized Ballet Master Vadim Fedotov, based on the story by Hans Christian Andersen.

 

In 2023, Rebecca joined Azara Ballet, a professional contemporary ballet company based in Sarasota, Florida. She has worked with notable choreographers including Leiland Charles, Arianna Hughlett, Gabriel Gaffney Smith, and Martin Flowers.

 

Rebecca is also a ballet instructor, teaching both private and group lessons to the next generation of dancers at local studios such as the International Ballet of Florida, Star Academy, and Dance University. When she’s not in the studio or performing on stage, Rebecca is a competitive martial artist. She has won several gold medals in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and a gold medal in Historical Fencing.

 

This will be Rebecca’s fourth season with Azara Ballet.
