OUR HISTORY Albright Studios holds a rich and deeply rooted history in the dance community. Founded in 1940 by Evelyn Albright, one of the early 'Tivoli Gals,' the studio has been inspiring young dancers for over 80 years. Evelyn's daughter, Carol Fairy, took over the school and dedicated 41 years to preserving her mother's legacy. Today, Rebecca Wenig, along with Rhiannon Thompson and Guy Freeman, continues to lead the studio, ensuring the traditions and values established by Evelyn and Carol are upheld.
