Passionate About Inspiring Others
Rebecca is a former professional dancer turned dance teacher and has experience on both sides of the camera. As a dance photography prompter, and as a dancer and model. Having an experienced eye and an understanding of the importance of technique allows our clients to have a complete and personalized experience with us.
​
Rebecca's many years of teaching expertise work with dancers ranging in age from 6 months to 70 years old, as well as her ability to encourage and inspire her customers and interact with them in a personalized manner, allows for a comprehensive Inspired Dance Images experience.
Rebecca had the opportunity to work with a wide range of photographers while dancing in Australia. This is where her passion for the positive and fun experience of photoshoots began. Photography enabled confidence to build and more performance opportunities to arise. Through this experience Rebecca was able to learn how to transfer images from the 3D space into 2D images. Once returning to New Zealand she discovered that there were limited possibilities for young dancers to gain this amazing experience. Out of this, Inspired Dance Images was born.
