Beth Bradley
Owner / Director
Beth is a native of Hendersonville, NC and began her dance training at the age of four. Throughout her years as a student she studied all forms of dance, including tap, jazz, ballet, pointe, lyrical, modern, and acrobatics. She attended the Governor’s School of North Carolina in 1997 in the area of dance and under the tutelage of many esteemed modern, jazz and ballet teachers. Beth was active in competitions as a teenager and won many awards for her group and solo routines. In 1998 she was awarded the title of Blue Ridge Junior Miss. She then went on to compete in the North Carolina’s Junior Miss scholarship competition, where she won a preliminary award in physical fitness.
Beth began her teaching career while a student at UNC-Asheville. Upon graduation in 2002, she began teaching and choreographing full-time. She taught on staff for eight years at a local studio before moving to Shelby, NC where she was an instructor for four years. In 2010, Beth moved back to Hendersonville where she, along with her business partner, opened Releve Performing Arts Center. Now in its sixth year, RPAC has more than doubled in size and students, and is known as a community leader in both the arts and community service.
Beth is known for her innovative and creative choreography. She is certified by test to teach and is a member of the Southern Council of Dance Masters and Dance Masters of America. Beth has won numerous Best Choreography Awards, Most Entertaining Awards, and overall and highest score awards from many regional and national competitions. Her students have become Mr. Dance of North Carolina, Master and Teen Mr. Dance of North Carolina, and finalists in the Petite, Junior Miss, Teen Miss, and Miss Dance of North Carolina pageants through the Dance Masters of America organization. While an owner of Releve Performing Arts Center, her students have been named National Champions twice.
However, Beth feels her greatest professional achievement is the special needs dance program she started with her staff members three years ago in her studio. This program is for students with disabilities and has grown into an amazing experience for students who otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity to dance. It is also an awesome experience for teenage volunteers, parents, and audiences alike. She is excited to continue this program through the Limitless Friends class.
After her husband’s career brought her to Greer, SC, Beth knew she wouldn’t be able to commute for long. She is excited to start this next chapter as the owner and director of a brand new studio in Greer. She is passionate about teaching what she loves to all students, and is committed to excellence and encouragement for all who come through the studio doors.
