Rebecca Schoon
Rebecca began her dance career at 10 years old at BCDS, which gave her the most incredible foundation and learning experience to carry out dance to this day. She started coaching gymnastics when she was 15 with her brother and former coach Tyler. Working with kids is something that she truly enjoys, and she is so happy to be able to do that at the very studio that made her fall in love with dancing. She went on to dance at Fountain Valley high school, performing with the varsity and elite teams every year. She became captain of the Jazz/Lyrical team as well as co-captain for the Hip-Hop team. Leading, helping others, and working as a team are all things that she learned the very moment she set foot into BCDS, so she is proud to be an example for the kids that she coaches now!
