Bethany is 24.   She’s a legal assistant at a large law firm in Portland.  However, she hasn’t strayed very far from her dancing roots, as she teaches tap at two studios and performs with her brothers when she can get away from the office.

Bethany began dancing at age six, studying tap, ballroom and jazz with her brother, Carl.  She also was a member of the Jefferson Dancers while in high school and studied ballet at the Northwest Academy of the Arts. Before entering the working world, Bethany studied at the Art Institute of Portland. In 2004, she was crowned Ms. Marion Polk County and awarded third runner-up to Ms. Oregon.

Bethany has a feminine style influenced with the macho moves of her three brothers. She is an energizing and self-assured performer.
