Debbie Beasley, Artistic Director and Instructor
Debbie studied dance in her hometown of York, PA and at the Peabody Conservatory of Music. She performed with the York Symphony and Spring Garden Orchestra for many years, as well as in local community theatre and summer stock in Allenberry and Bucks County. In addition to performing, Debbie produced, directed and choreographed seven musical productions a year for York's Summer Outdoor Theatre on Kiwanis Lake.
Debbie began teaching dance over 20 years ago, which included private dance lessons in York.
She has choreographed the Easton High School Musicals since 1993 and was recruited by Dance Harrison Street’s founder, Constance Walsh, to teach at Dance Harrison Street in 1997. After Constance moved from Easton in 2003, Debbie took over as Director of the school.
