Rebecca Blair Price graduated from Slippery Rock University with a BA in Dance. She received her MFA in Dance Performance & Choreography from Arizona State University. Her thesis research focused on implementing somatic practices into the choreographic process. Price has been with Grand Canyon University for over 10 years. Price takes a somatic approach to dance technique instruction through a relationship with a developed anatomical knowledge and a focus on sensory information. Price’s aesthetic and choreographic style emphasizes the soma (living body) and physical components of dance. Her choreography requires her performers demonstrate a wide range of feelings and emotions demonstrated through kinesthetic dynamics. In addition to teaching, Price is a performer, choreographer, and producer of dance in the Phoenix community.
