Rebecca Fender: Contributing Artist

Rebecca Fender doesn’t remember a time when dance wasn’t a part of her life. Starting at the age of two (thanks, Mom) she has studied ballet, tap, classical and lyrical jazz, modern, Afro-Haitian, and contact improvisation. She was a founding member and director of the University of Alaska Anchorage’s Dance Ensemble from 1997 until 1999 and has been a choreographer for numerous ballet, jazz and modern pieces as well as musicals. She has studied with Steve Primus, Ken Cole, Jill Crosby, Billy Siegenfeld of Jump Rhythm Jazz Project, Heather Cornell of Manhattan Tap, and XSIGHT! Performance Group. After a seven year hiatus from structured dance classes and performing to raise her two girls, Rebecca is honored to have been accepted as a member of Fish Hawk Wing Modern Dance in the Fall of ’08.
