Episode 28: SOPHIE WELLER and BETHANY WRIGHT - Sisters, International Ballet Stars and founders of N&S Lifestyle
Manage episode 290324894 series 2913437
Sophie Weller and Bethany Wright are sisters, international ballet stars, intrepid entrepreneurs and have recently founded their latest enterprise together – N&S Lifestyle.
Sophie and Bethany grew up in the world of ballet and musical theatre. Sophie attended world-renowned Elmhurst Ballet School and Bethany attended The Hammond, where they both successfully completed their ballet and contemporary dance training, as well as a studied for a general education. Their stories are riveting, their work ethic incredible, and their extraordinary can-do attitudes, even from a young age, have quite rightly brought them many successes throughout their lives.
Sophie and Bethany talk about life as dancers, the highs and the lows in a unpredictable world. Sophie talks about some of her stand-out memories and tells us about touring the globe with Basement Jaxx. Bethany’s first experience, after stepping out of training, was in St Tropez, a dream job, at just 19, with a well-known cabaret company. Their careers quite simply blossomed when they left school. Both sisters were fully aware of the ups and downs of working freelance and so they set up businesses to complement and support their, and others, dancing careers. Sophie founded The London Ballet Company almost 10 years ago and Bethany runs a talent agency for children as well as an agency to support and prepare adult dancers after they leave their training stages.
N&S Lifestyle started when Sophie moved, with her husband, to Ipswich and during lockdown found she had more time to explore social media. Sophie tells us about discovering a mass of incredibly talented and creative local people with small businesses and wanted to develop a connection, a network, for them whilst helping to promote what they do locally and further afield.
