Becki started her dance career at the age of 2, where she started tap and jazz at Darlene’s in Fremont. Her first performance experience was a beauty pageant. Becki talked about her tap shoes and how they make noise and ended up winning first runner up for Ms. Fremont. At age of 3 she moved to Joanne Brown Dancers in Union City. Quickly Tap, Jazz and lyrical became her first love, and the studio her second home. She became a competitive dancer at the age of 7 doing acro jazz (gymnastics and jazz).
At age 7 Becki added theater to her experiences. Her first show was Annie, playing an Orphan. Dance and Theater became her first loves. In high school Becki joined the James Logan Color guard, along with choir, and the dance team. She was the first freshman to get a Varsity letter in theater in Logan’s history. After spending 4 years in the theater department, and dance team, Becki graduated and went off to Ohlone College. She majored in theater and dance, while adding directing to her experiences; directing her first one act. While she was on the Ohlone’s dance team she also began a Spartan Spectrum Dancer for San Jose State. In Year 1999 Becki was part of the half time show at the Aloha bowl in Honolulu.
From year 2001 to 2003 took a break from dance to travel for work. After having her first daughter she came back to Joanne Brown Dancers to put her daughter in dance. She realized at that time how much she missed dancing, so she joined Joanne’s Competitive dance team for adults ages 18 and up. It’s been an adventure competing every year, and she has enjoyed being on stage and performing.
In 2004 Becki was ready for a new experience and started teaching the preschool classes for Joanne. She now teaches 3 preschool classes a week, adding 5–9-year-olds, 10–16-year-old in tap and jazz. She loves taking all she has learned over the years and giving it back to her students.
