The fabulous Bethany Moreland is today's Feature Friday! Bethany grew up dancing in Columbus, Ohio. She began taking ballet classes at the age of 3 and instantly fell in love. Through high school dance, especially ballet and modern, remained her focus.

After high school she studied Family Sciences and Human Development at The Ohio State University. Bethany then earned her Master’s in Early Childhood Education at Muskingum University. Throughout college dance remained a favorite pastime and stress reliever.

Bethany is currently a 3rd grade teacher at Amesville Elementary. She loves teaching young students the basics of dance. Bethany has been with Factory Street since 2016 and is looking forward to another season at the studio.
