TESTIMONIAL rebecca bachar duncan dancer – Site Title

"I have know Rebecca for over 20 years. My association with her was primarily as a supervising teacher for the School District. In that capacity I taught classes to her daughter and many children who were students of Rebecca’s dance and art studio. I also provided home school supervision for many of Rebecca’s students.

The positive impact Rebecca had on the students under my supervision, including her daughter Briani, can not be overstated. Briani not only was an excellent student in my home school classes but she was a graceful and engaging high achiever. It’s one thing to excel in school work but the kindness she showed to adults and fellow students was remarkable. I have found it is difficult for young people to connect with adults but not so with Briani. Whether participating in the classes or in casual passing in our town, Briani has been a kind and thoughtful individual.

I knew Rebecca’s value to our community even more through students from the district’s home school assistance program. As an example, one student who I worked with for 9 years and who also had classes from Rebecca was a young girl who, like the rest of her family, suffered from learning disabilities. All the children were given every advantage the parents could afford but several of this student’s siblings struggled with multiple difficulties.

While the learning academics was difficult for my student, her time with Rebecca proved to be the leg up she needed. Continuing with dance through her teenage years, this girl became an accomplished performer. Rebecca’s support for her and the curriculum Rebecca provided allowed my student to experience success even though she struggled academically.

A major benefit of my student’s work with Rebecca’s dedication and tutelage was her growth in confidence and that belief in herself that transferred over to academics. She was unstoppable. The young woman went on to graduate from a correspondence high school then to college where she learned strategies for navigating her learning disability. Rebecca’s former protege has just finished a masters program where she will be a psychological therapist. I credit her success which went way beyond her siblings to the support and training she got from Rebecca.

These stories of the success and maturation of Rebecca’s daughter and this student was not unusual. So many young girls developed grace and confidence from Rebecca’s teaching. Rebecca is a beloved member of her Iowa community and I am guessing she will have many students who will fill up her classes.. If her youngest is like his sister, he will be a hard worker and academically gifted student who excels at anything he attempts all the while being a kind and caring friend and member of the community.

I heartily recommend Rebecca’s tutelage in all areas.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this reference and consider my experience with a wonderful mother and community member." J. Crouch. Teacher, Masters in Education, mother Iowa
