Bethany has been an instructor at PAE for 9 years and is passionate about providing young dancers with a strong technique foundation for their dance journey. She loves all her classes, but spends most time teaching the younger ages where she believes that balancing social and intrapersonal development with dance is an important part of a successful learning experience. Bethany grew up playing sports and discovered her love of dance in high school. She was trained by Sandra Mitchell and other PAE teachers in ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, acro, and is a certified Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) instructor. She graduated from California Baptist University in 2022 with a bachelor of science in kinesiology for sport performance and has recently gone back to earn her license as a physical therapist assistant.
