Nancy Chippendale
When Nancy opened her dance studio in North Andover, MA in 1979, she started off in a small rented studio and 10 students. Today, she has a staff of 25 and nearly 1,000 students in her new 15,000-square-foot facility. Nancy has trained dancers who have won the World Tap championships along with dozens of other national titles. Her dedication extends beyond the studio. She is the founder of DANCE UNITED, an international dance festival bringing together dancers from all over the world. She has choreographed school plays for over 15 years and produced shows to raise money for a middle school auditorium curtains, lights, and sound systems.
