Instructor Bio:
Rebecca R.G. enjoys being silly and musical with their dance partners. Their primary teaching experience is as a math professor, so they think a lot about how to structure a lesson plan to help students feel safe to make mistakes, learn from each other, and meet their goals.
Rebecca got serious about dance as an undergraduate and ended up minoring in it, focusing on modern dance. Their study of solo dancing helps them analyze movement and explain what's going on in detail. While in undergrad, Rebecca tried contra and lindy and got hooked on partner dancing. Over the years they gradually moved over to blues, fusion, west coast swing, and zouk. Rebecca has taught lindy, blues, and fusion in Michigan, upstate New York, and the DC area. They also completed Fusion Teacher Training with Flouer Evelyn and Mark Carpenter in Greenville, SC in summer 2025.
