Miss Bethany began ballet lessons at age four and always dreamed of owning her own studio. In middle school, she would create full-length ballets complete with choreography notes, costume designs, set designs and music playing on her old school boombox!

She had a wonderful experience growing up in a studio that became like a second home with dancers that remain her closest friends to this day. Now as the owner and director of NGSB, she strives to create that same wonderful experience with the #NGSBFamily.

NGSB was originally founded by Jennifer McDonnell who started the studio from scratch in 2011.  Check out this picture of her hand drawn NGSB logo she created while starting the business!

After five years, Miss Jennifer moved on to pursue her doctorate degree. During those first five years, she established a studio with quality training and a family atmosphere.

​

Miss Bethany was so excited to take over the studio in 2016 and continue to develop the welcoming and positive studio culture at NGSB. After a college degree in dance, a career of dancing professionally, and years teaching in several dance studios in California and Georgia, Miss Bethany welcomed the opportunity and challenge of owning a dance studio.

Soon after becoming the owner, Miss Bethany and her husband Mr. Corey welcomed their own little ballerina, Abilene, and now have a Son as well, Abbott! Mr. Corey, although not (yet) an accomplished dancer, brings his entrepreneurial spirit to NGSB and also owns his own small business (Georgia ADU, LLC - GeorgiaADU.com - building guest houses for families around Atlanta.)

Since taking over, Miss Bethany and Mr. Corey have created a special space welcoming dancers from our diverse neighborhoods throughout Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Roswell and East Cobb. The studio has grown by leaps and bounds and they have upgraded twice to larger spaces to keep up with the demand of happy friends and families; now occupying over 8,000 square feet with 4 large studios. Because of their commjunity involvement and charitable giving they even won the Sandy Spring Perimeter Chamber's Small Business of the Year for 2020!  They continue to work hard to cultivate the NGSB family atmosphere, quality training, and community involvement while bringing the joy of dance to everyone joining the studio!
