Rebecca Ommedal's passion is helping other people discover the power and beauty of their own bodies. This passion led her to study Dance Science at the University of Georgia, where she received training in dance technique and composition, as well as the fundamentals of training the body for ease of movement and expression. She earned her degree in Interdisciplinary Studies in Dance Science in 2018. Her style of teaching places an emphasis on creating a strong physical foundation and connecting the mind with the body, while still gaining mastery of beautiful technique. She is so excited to be working with Brightstone. When she's not in the studio, you'll most likely find her wrist deep in some dirt in the garden or some dough in the kitchen.
