About ACADEMY OF PERFORMING ARTS

Beth Mayo, owner and primary instructor of Academy of Performing Arts brings a long resume of experience, talent and enthusiasm to her classes. She performed in Cats for 2 years where she met her husband John Mayo. She has done several Broadway national and international tours, as well as performing at Radio City Music Hall and the White House.

For 5 years she performed at Universal Studios and worked as a choreographer and actor in TV shows such as: Diagnosis Murder with Dick Van Dyke, Father Dowling, Reading Rainbow, and America's Funniest People.

Beth has three children and feels that her experience as a mother has helped her more than anything to be a creative and motivating teacher. The Academy of Performing Arts is a noncompetitive studio. We dance for our love of the arts and our love for the children.
