Rebecca Cervantes

Rebecca Cervantes has a B.A. in Politics and that is why she is a Dance Teacher. After working for a law firm after graduation, she found self-empowerment through Dance. Her goal is to pass that empowerment along to her students. She has been teaching Dance to youth and adults all over San Francisco for over 25 years. She has taught at Rhythm & Motion, The Marsh, MCCLA, The SF LGBT Center, and countless schools throughout SFUSD. Her love of Dance started with Hip Hop & Creative Movement; but she studies, teaches, and performs a wide variety of Dance forms; including Salsa, Merengue, Samba, Hip Hop, and Creative Dance. She has been performing with and collaborating with MCCLA for years starting with Vanessa Mosqueda and Mixtiso in 2002. She is currently the Executive Director of Moving Beyond Productions, a nonprofit youth group that has won multiple awards in SF Carnaval. She is also the Director of The Marsh Youth Theater, where she helps get Teaching Artists into schools throughout SFUSD.
