Episode 97: Bekah Spurgeon

March 28, 2023March 28, 2023 by Rachel Caldwell

My new friend Bekah Spurgeon joins me for episode 97! Bekah has such a beautiful presence, and I loved getting to know her through this conversation! Bekah is a choreographer, dance educator, and is the Founder and Director of Generation Movemeant (GenMove). GenMove is a dance mentorship program that exists to train, build, and equip girls in 6-12th grade to walk boldly with purpose for such a time as this. I love Bekah’s vision with GenMove–to combine training in versatile dance styles with character building, scripture study, and teaching foundational life skills.

In our conversation, Bekah shares about her background dancing professionally for the NBA as well as her time living in Los Angeles as a professional dance artist, where she performed with local dance companies, appeared on television, did commercial work for Sony, Nintendo Wii and more. You’ll also hear about how she and her husband traveled for a year as missionaries where she had some unexpected opportunities to use dance.

We chat about topics such as understanding identity, the concept of sabbath, and experiencing the presence of God in dance. Bekah is a wife and mom, and we talk about being a dancer and mom as well as her journey with homeschooling. Bekah’s story is so inspiring, and I’m so excited to share our conversation with you!
