Rebeca Ramirez Vargas

Rebeca, originally from Mexico, began her classical professional ballet training at the National Ballet School of La Havana Cuba "Fernando Alonso" at the age of 15. 

There, she graduated as a professional ballet dancer and teacher. During this time she had the opportunity to dance classical ballets such as Don Quijote, La Bayadere, Raymonda, and more.

After graduating, Rebeca moved to New York City where she joined the Joffrey Concert Group. There she had the opportunity to dance ballets such as Valse Fantaisie and Serenade by George Balanchine, as well as Suite Saint-Saëns and Light Rain by Gerald Arpino. There she learned different styles and techniques the ballet world has to offer. 

After two years, Rebeca and her husband Carson decided to join Cleveland Ballet. 

In her two years at Cleveland Ballet, she performed ballets like Alice in Wonderland by Margo Sappington and Coppelia by Ramon Oller as well as other original pieces by the artistic director Gladisa Guadalupe.

After moving to Colorado, Rebeca shifted her focus to teaching full-time as well as working at the dancewear store, Boulder Body Wear, where she became a pointe shoe fitter. 

Now Rebeca is happy to return to Boulder Ballet and teach all of the amazing dancers.
