Sophisticates Tap and Jazz 

Judy Turcotte

Judy started at Mitchell's as a dancer when she was a child.  Mitchell's soon became her home away from home while taking lessons in Tap, Jazz and Ballet. A natural born teacher and nurturer, Al quickly gave her the opportunity to be a captain of the renowned Mitchellette group as they toured the North Shore performing at various locations and events.  She then went on to assist Al with the Saturday morning combination classes for years.  As her family grew over the years, Judy did not shy away from her Mitchell's family and had her family grow up at the Studio. Now a preschool teacher in Topsfield, she's enjoying being able to continue to teach the Sophisticates Tap and Jazz classes after Al's passing continuing the Studio family tradition. A particular specialty of Judy is coming up with a never before seen routine for the Sophisticates to perform that is always a show stopper! You never quite know what they will come up with year after year.
