EVCC features dance instructor
Rebecca Gilberto


 

Rebecca Gilberto’s family background includes art, music and science, but dance has always been her passion! She studied dance during college, earning a B.S. and M.A. in Physical Education/Dance/Health from Ball State University, and started teaching in 1973. “The very first dance class I ever taught was square dance for senior citizens at the Community Center in Shawano, Wisconsin, in 1973, and I am thrilled to come full circle teaching in a community center environment again!” Gilberto’s professional teaching career began in Wisconsin as a PE and dance instructor, as well as providing gymnastics and cheerleading coaching. She moved to Jackson Hole, Wyoming in 1977 and initiated the first high school dance curriculum at a public school in the state. In 1981, Gilberto joined Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, as the Director of Dance Programs until 1995, and also served as the Artistic Director of the Wake Forest University Dance Company during her tenure.

Gilberto and her husband moved to Colorado when their youngest decided to attend Colorado State University. She joined the Estes Valley Recreation and Park District as a fitness and dance teacher, after certification as a Zumba®, ZumbaGold® and SilverSneakers® instructor. Gilberto will be teaching Ballroom Dancing this fall at the Estes Valley Community Center. She commented, “Teaching Ballroom Dancing will be a blast from my past! I taught this class for fifteen years at Wake Forest University. It’s a “social” version of ballroom dancing that does not require partners – the class was always packed and everyone had a great time!” The $65 12-class series will be on Mondays and Wednesdays, September 16 thru October 23, from 6 to 7 p.m. in the Community Room at EVCC.

Gilberto will also be adding Moms and Tots, Baby Ballerinas and Adult Jazz Dance to EVCC’s fall offerings. Moms and Tots is a 40-minute class for kids ages 3 to 5 and their parents that promotes locomotor skills, coordination and rhythm. Baby Ballerinas is focused on introducing basic skills, including how to come into a dance class, basic ballet positions and steps for children ages 4 to 5. It will be a low-key introduction with no costumes to purchase. Adult Jazz will teach the basics of jazz, Broadway and lyrical dances, culminating in a choreographed dance number by the end of the session. Please visit evrpd.com for the full descriptions and schedules of all Rebecca Gilberto’s classes.
