ABOUT HANNAH

Hannah began her dance training early in life and has remained fully dedicated to her craft ever since. Based in Chicago, she is currently living her dream as a full-time educator and choreographer, working with several award-winning studios across the Midwest. Known for her passion and versatility, Hannah brings her expertise and energy to every classroom, inspiring the next generation of dancers.

 

She recently completed an intensive year of training at the CLI Conservatory under the direction of Teddy Forance and Martha Nichols, where she trained over 40 hours per week in a variety of styles. During her time there, she had the opportunity to learn from leading industry professionals, including Christopher Scott and Robbie Blue. Hannah was also one of just 18 dancers selected to present original choreography in the conservatory’s winter showcase—an experience that deepened her creative vision and choreographic voice.

​

Now back in Chicago, Hannah continues to focus on what she loves most: teaching and mentoring young dancers. She specializes in jazz, musical theatre, and contemporary, with a teaching style that emphasizes strong technique, performance quality, and personal empowerment. Her performance experience spans film, galas, concerts, and live theater productions, where she has served as both dance captain and choreographer. With eight years of experience on various judging panels, Hannah remains committed to uplifting and being inspired by the dance community around her.
