Hannah’s biggest passion is enabling future generations to embody their important values in a safe space while allowing discoveries to flourish. Currently teaching at Desert West Dance Academy, she encourages each dancer to feel their best in class and on stage. She believes that dance involves correct lines and efficient technique, but is, most importantly, about a person’s inward expression through movement. Stories are powerful ways of communicating and dance allows stories to come alive. She aims to unlock the connection between technique and storytelling among her students in class and through performances on stage.
