Hi, I'm Bethany Sell! I’ve been dancing at BCCDV since 2004, and in 2022, I had the joy of stepping into a teaching role. Over the years, I’ve taught a variety of styles—from jazz to modern—but my heart truly belongs to young lyrical dancers.
One of my favorite parts of teaching is creating unique choreography and watching my students grow—not just in their technique, but in their

HEAR IT FROM OUR STUDENTS

I took lessons here for about 12 years ever since I was 2 1/2. The teachers there are so nice and are really helpful. They offer a variety of dance classes from just a regular group class to lyrical, classical ballet, and hip hop. I would fully recommend this place. They also offer vocal lessons as well.
My daughter is very shy and has danced at Ballet Memphis for years, at Beth Cross Centre she has found a second family, and not only has she become confident to be herself outside of the home, but her technique in all genres of dance have flourished & transformed her into a competitive, pre-professional artist.
