Rebecca Bustillos

Instructor

Rebecca “Becca” Bustillos first fell in love with Hip-Hop at a young age when her older brother introduced her to artists such as Tupac, Mobb Deep, and Nas. Her passion for the music manifested itself in dance choreography for her friends. Unbeknownst to her at the time, that experience would lead to a twenty-year career in dance instruction. Becca studied at Greenfield Community College where she received the Carolyn Nims McClellan dance scholarship. She trained with Jennifer Weber at Mount Holyoke College and has worked as a guest teacher at New England colleges, high schools, and dance studios. In addition to dance instruction, Becca also has fifteen years of business management experience. In 2007, Becca founded the Crazefaze Dance Crew, which is a Ladies Hip-Hop Crew from Western, MA. The crew has since performed in competitions, for charity, and with flash mobs. They are well known within the community for spreading the love of Hip-Hop. Becca and Crazefaze have received multiple awards in both dance and choreography. According to Becca, dance is what has gotten her through life. Her philosophy is that taking a situation and bringing it from a negative to a positive with dance is life changing. Everyone has their own struggles and difficulties in life, but through dance you can heal. Dance has been her therapy for many years, and she continues to pass it on to the younger generation.
