Beth Ann Mastromarino is a 4th generation Italian-American from Brooklyn, NY. She was raised in a multi-generational home where, from an early age, she was steeped in the rhythms, songs, and folklore of her ancestors who hail from Sicily, Naples, and the neighboring Montemarano. Over the past ten years, she has taught workshops on the topics of Italian folk traditions, and the steps and beats of the Tammurriata and Tarantella. An alumna of New York University, Beth currently serves on the Board of Directors of D’Italia Programs, the first Italian- American performance group, founded in the USA in 1932. She is also a member of Andiamo!, an Italian-American musical troupe bringing authentic Italian folk music to America.
