✨ ONE MORE TIME ✨
For generations, Betty Hayes Baxter has been part of our lives.
She taught many of us our first shuffle ball change, our first ballet position, and our very first recital routine. For some families, she has taught not just one generation, but two, three, and even four. Through 80 remarkable years, Betty has built far more than a dance studio… she has built a lasting legacy.
Betty continues to hold the Guinness World Record for the Longest Career as a Dance Teacher. Her passion, dedication, and love for her students have touched thousands of lives and shaped generations of dancers.
Classes for this final season begin in September 2026, leading up to the 80th and final dance recital in June 2027, at the Richland Center Auditorium (the soon to be “Betty Hayes Baxter Legacy Theatre”).
This special season will celebrate eight decades of cherished memories, featuring special tribute numbers and the return of many iconic Betty dances throughout the studio’s history.
We warmly invite alumni, current dancers, families, and friends to join us as we honor the extraordinary woman who taught us so much more than dance.
More information about registration will be announced soon. ❤️
