Rebecca Curcio, a golden state native, began her early dance training at a competitive studio in Southern California. She went on to receive a Bachelors of Arts degree in dance with an emphasis in choreography at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. With an eagerness to share this gift, she has taught and choreographed for multiple dance studios, schools and companies, working with all ages. Upon moving to the Big Island in 2016, Rebecca joined Heartbridge Performing Arts at the University of the Nations YWAM as a performer and artistic director, which has allowed her work to be showcased on stages around the world. Though travel is one of her closest companions, she is thrilled to be settled in Kona with her husband, Davi, and son, Daniel, serving the dance community right in her backyard.
