We are pleased to announce that Bethany Rose Harrison who made it through to the semi-finals as one of the top three girls in the BBC show ‘So you think you can dance’ is joining the judging panel for the Face of Exeter’s Princesshay competition. Bethany was a dedicated member of The National Youth Ballet Company for nine years as well as appearing in ‘Street Dance’ the movie and various music videos. We are absolutely thrilled that Bethany is involved in this year’s competition as she is a Devon girl, born and bred, now living her dream as professional dancer in London and has given up her time in-between her busy schedule of shows, teaching and castings to be part of the Face of Exeter’s Princesshay.

 Bethany is also going to be using her dance experience to choreograph the competition’s finale evening where the judges will pick their top two entrants to be crowned as this year’s Face of Exeter’s Princesshay.
