Allison Beaton was raised in Port Hawkesbury, Cape Breton. She began dancing after taking lessons from the Warner sisters at a very young age and soon found herself dancing in the summer Scottish concert circuit around the maritimes. Allison is also in great demand as an instructor and has taught dance in Cape Breton, Ottawa, Montreal and online. Her Cape Breton musical roots run deep with the Beatons of Mabou and the MacMasters of Judique making up her bloodline. She has toured through Canada, the United States and Scotland with Cape Breton musicians, including her parents Kinnon and Betty Lou Beaton as well as her sister Andrea Beaton. She also appeared on her cousin Natalie MacMaster’s DVD, “Natalie MacMaster: Live in Cape Breton”
