Her dancing adventures began at the early age of two, at one of the most acclaimed dance studio in Australia - Brent Street Performing Arts.

From the age of 15, Bec began teaching the younger generation of dancers at Brent Street and at 21 years of age, she was the head of the department for the after school program (now called YP & PTP courses). During the day she worked in the office and in the evenings she taught hip hop, jazz funk, jazz and/or other dance styles.
Throughout her professional career in Australia, Bec received some incredible opportunities to work on some of the most sort after gigs: X Factor Australia, the NRL Grand Final, ‘Dance Academy’ (tv show & movie), Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards, Opera Australia, Australia’s Got Talent, ‘Telstra’, ‘Royal Caribbean’, ‘One Night in Mexico’.

In August of 2017, Bec obtained her working visa for the USA and promptly moved to Los Angeles, California. She was signed to Go 2 Talent Agency and with this new adventure in life, Bec worked extremely hard to make her mark on the US dance industry.
Within six months living in the US, Bec booked one of the biggest jobs of her career thus far - Nicki Minaj. She spent the year of 2018 performing with Minaj for many award shows, festivals, television shows & music videos (see ‘WORKS’ ‘tab for more details). Working under the creative direction of Jamie King (Michael Jackson, Cirque du Soleil, Madonna, Bruno Mars), Bec achieved many of her childhood dreams, dancing on some of the biggest stages in the world.
In 2019, Bec Morris began touring with the number 1 Latin artist, J Balvin. His ‘Arcoiris’ Tour was an explosion of color with visually stunning set pieces, created by The Squared Division (Britney Spears, Katy Perry). The eccentric tour began on the east coast of the United States, traveling to over 30 cities, ending the US leg in Los Angeles. The tour performed to sold out shows including Madison Square Garden & Crypto Arena (formerly Staples).
The J Balvin tour company then headed to Latin America, again selling out arena & stadium shows. This was one of the most sort after concerts of the season. Touring continued until the world shut down in March, 2020.
Throughout the next few years, Bec shifted more into creation: choreography and creative direction. In 2019 she began working with Director Santiago Salviche (JLo, Marc Anthony, Danna Paola), choreographing several different music videos: ‘Mala Fama’ - Danna Paola, ‘Get What U Get’ - Chloe Flower and ‘Small Things’ - JoJo.
This was the first time Bec Morris met Joanna Levesque (JoJo).
Since that moment, they’ve shared some incredible opportunities: The Kelly Clarkson Show, US tour, festival shows & more music videos (see ‘WORKS’ ‘tab for more details).
Outside of choreography, Bec creatively directed (with Salviche & Levesque) the ‘What U Need’ music video & visually directed her live show visuals. She also dance coached JoJo while she was auditioning and preparing to be the Sparkling Diamond in ‘The Moulin Rouge’ on Broadway.
Most recently, Bec has embarked on a new journey, which has her diving further into the production and creative realm.
