This family business began in 1934 with Gerard "Pepe" Geoffrey, then changing its name to the Hackworth School of Performing Arts in 1960 when daughter Jackie took over. It is now owned and operated by Jackie's daughters, Lisa and Alison, who along with their talented staff would like to acknowledge all three generations that account for 69 years of continuous quality Dance Training.
