Graduating from the University of Utah, where she earned both a bachelor of fine arts in ballet and a master’s in education, Betsy Bradley has taught ballet for over forty years, most recently with the School of Ballet Arizona. Ms. Bradley began her dance training with Ballet Russe alumni, Roman Jasinski, and Moscelyne Larkin. She danced with the Tulsa Ballet Theater and Ballet West’s Ballet for Children and has since educated teachers on how to use performing arts to develop children’s creativity. She has been featured in newspaper and magazine articles.

Mother of two adult sons, Bradley now lives in Scottsdale, Arizona, where she continues to advocate for the arts and arts education. She has served on the Scottsdale Arts in Education Council board of directors, leading the organization as president for one term, which earned her Volunteer of the Year from the Scottsdale Charros, a group dedicated to serving the community.
