Undermine you, lie, even steal choreography. My fave is then when these Charleton's publish it on You Tube under there names! I refuse to give them any of my energy. People can often mistake my kindness and positive disposition for stupidity. NO---- I am aware of everything. I just choose not to respond to you! Karma ............Rebecca Lee's Resume/BiographyChicago-based dancer/fitness trainer Rebecca Lee has a talent for fusing diverse elements of dance to create a whole much greater than the sum of its parts. Throughout her career, she’s leveraged her classical training, passion for urban and Latin-based dance, and finely tuned sense of physical discipline and endurance.As a child, Lee cut her teeth as a competitive gymnast, transitioning to professional dance in her early teens. Her training with teachers at the Chicago-based Ruth Paige, Joseph Holmes Dance Theater, Hubbard Street Dance, and Joel Hall Dance Theater coincided with her full-time attendance, on scholarship, as a dance student at the acclaimed Chicago Academy for the Arts. There, she studied with the school’s lauded faculty--including former Royal Ballet and Western Theatre Ballet dancer Anna Paskevska--to develop the mental and physical discipline—including precision of alignment, turnout, and pointe—that laid the foundations for her future successes. Attending four of the Academy’s technical classes daily in Graham, Jazz, Ballet and Modern, Lee also took master classes with world renown guest artists. Even as a high school student, Lee took advantage of professional performance opportunities afforded her, including the test pilot for Disney’s celebrated musical production of the Lion King. On graduation, Lee studied dance, again on a scholarship basis, at Ohio’s Antioch University before she made her foray into the commercial world. Since 1995, she has performed with professional dance companies in Miami, Chicago, and New York—each of whose style was a fusion of Hip-Hop, House, and Latin elements. Lee also served as choreographer and back-up dancer for scores of grammy-award winning artists, performing in concert tours around the world for the likes of R. Kelly, DJ Tiesto, Gerardo, Tito Nieves, Tito Puente, Gillette, and Maximillion. Her numerous music video appearances include the Baha Men’s “Best Years Of Our Lives,” featured in the DVD release of Disney’s Oscar-winning blockbuster, Shrek, as well as music videos for the triple-platinum OutHere Brothers. And, for a season in YEAR, the 20,000 Chicago Bulls fans—packed into Chicago’s United Center whenever their team took the court—watched Lee perform as a member of the NBA’s sexiest affiliation, the Chicago Luvabulls Dancers. As a young artist, Lee leveraged her classical training into high-visibility success as a dancer in the urban, pop and Latin music industries. Today, she’s bringing her extensive stage and concert tour experience to the fitness industry. As an instructor and trainer at Crunch Gym, Lee teaches fitness staples like lower body toning and abdominal strength, as well as more innovative classes such as “Zumba” and “Stiletto Strength.” But Lee has also written several of the company’s most sought-after formats. “Cardio-A-Go-Go”—a heart-pumping, easy-to-do workout infused with the chic style and rhythms of nightclub choreography—has been implemented across the country. As has Lee’s “Burlesque Beat”—best described as part cardio, part 1940’s-era burlesque dance. As a result of Lee’s contributions to the creative excellence of Crunch’s class lineups, the fitness-industry giant has invited her to develop her first feature video, to be released through Crunch Gym’s worldwide distribution channels. Of late, Lee has also become an unofficial Crunch spokesperson for the Chicago area. This year alone, she’s been featured on fitness segments for Good Morning America, WGN’s “Around Town,” ABC Morning News, and Spanish-language Univision’s Nightly News Special.One of 24 Zumba Master Trainers in the world—and the only Illinois resident to hold the certificate—Lee received Zumba training certification in October 2006.   Lee lives in Chicago with her husband and her almost-entirely-black cat. She spends an inordinate amount of her (limited) free time trying to teach her husband—and his loveable two left feet—to salsa..... msprm name="movie" value=
