Instructor: Becky Peterson
"I began dancing at age 13 as a “late bloomer” at Westford Dance Academy, but quickly found it to be my passion. I excelled at Hip-Hop and Jazz and also took classes in Lyrical and Ballet. By my second year as a dancer, I became an assistant teacher and shortly after, a Hip-Hop and Jazz teacher at WDA and The Dancing Center Unlimited. At age 16, I helped start up the first ever Chelmsford High School Dance Team. My senior year of high school I Co-directed the Team and put together the end of the year recital. I went on to major in Business at Fitchburg State College in hopes to someday run a studio. I joined the FSC Dance Club and I became a Hip-Hop teacher there and took many classes including Advanced Lyrical, Advanced Hip-Hop, Jazz/Funk, Theatrical, and Tap. My senior year I was the Vice President to the club of over 200 students and 15 teachers, and was also voted Teacher of the Year. I am a new graduate of the Class of 2007 and am very excited to start this new season of dance! I believe dancing is a healthy way to express yourself and find who you are. Personally for me, dancing built my self esteem and made me discover my passion in life. My goal is to promote a healthy self image and boost confidence while having the time of your life!"
