Perfect! Hanna is an absolutely fantastic teacher, she incredibly encouraging and has a knack for identifying the strengths of her students, whilst still pushing them on and pushing them forward. I am an adult beginner who has never done ballet before in my life, I also have Dyspraxia and I have found these lessons so enjoyable with the right amount of challenging. Hanna manages break down and explain the technical concepts so well and has so much patience. Would definitely recommend!

Hanna's response
Shay is a fantastic student. I always look forward to teaching her as she’s so responsive, keen and hard working. Shay has improved so much in a short amount of time as she dedicates extra time to practicing and researching everything there is to know about ballet. I’m a very proud teacher thus far and can’t wait to see Shay flourish even more in her ballet journey.

Perfect! Hanna is an excellent teacher and very encouraging. I have had 5 one-to-one lessons so far on Zoom. I’ve really enjoyed them and noticed an improvement in my dancing following each session. Hanna is meticulous in her teaching and helps me pay close attention to detail. Not only does she give constructive technical correction, Hanna also emphasises the importance of performance quality. She provides useful and clear advice and has given me extra exercises to take away from each session to enhance what I have learnt. Hanna is very patient and always willing to repeat anything if I am unsure.

Perfect! Hanna is a wonderful teacher! I started having lessons during lockdown-initially just to tide me over until my 'in person' classes resumed but am loving them so much that I have continued. She is so patient, caring and the lessons are always so well-considered and personalised. Hanna is so observant and thorough when offering corrections but always communicating with such empathy and encouragement. I particulary love how Hanna's teaching always seems to come from focusing on the strength/s of the dancer-this has done wonders for my confidence, as well as my technique! Couldn't recommend Hanna enough!!

Perfect! I’ve wanted to learn to dance for years but being 27 and not having danced since I was about 6 was too nervous to join the group adult dance classes near me. I decided to try to look for private classes and came across Hanna and the option of one to one video. I loved my intro class so much I’m doing twice weekly classes. Hanna is extremely knowledgable and patient which is great as I have a back injury to work with as well. I couldn’t recommend her more!

Perfect! Hanna is such a lovely teacher. She is really inspiring and friendly which makes the lessons that much more enjoyable. I really feel I have learnt and gained a lot from her lessons, both confidence and technique. We have had weekly lessons since April unless our schedules have not allowed us. Originally we began with ballet and recently we tried dance fitness. I love both and Hanna shines in both too. She takes time in planning her lessons so they are personalised and tailored to you, and she always checks in at the end of the lesson to see how you found it. I feel really guided and supported by her throughout and would recommend Hanna to anyone wanting to learn to dance and have a supportive and talented teacher.

Hanna's response
Krista has been taking my ballet lessons once a week for around 2 months now. She is a very receptive & intelligent student and we have an excellent rapport. Her strength, balance and memory is improving with every class and her curiosity allows her to access a further level of understanding of principle ballet technique. I always look forward to our classes as she is a bubbly, kind and generally lovely person. Krista is an absolute joy to teach and to get to know.

I had the pleasure of being taught by Hanna via Zoom for a number of months during lockdown and learnt a great deal from her expertise in both dance and fitness more generally. She kept me extremely motivated and pushed me to my limits, while making me feel at ease in her company. I would highly recommend Hanna to people of all abilities.

I’ve known Hanna for over ten years and have watched her grow from being a committed age-group dancer to becoming a full-time professional, working with a number of different companies both across the country and abroad. Hanna is the most caring and motivational tutor I’ve had the pleasure of being taught by. Specialising in ballet and fitness, Hanna has helped me achieve my personal fitness goals during the lockdowns of 2020, and she always goes above and beyond to cater the sessions to my specific needs! She always brings great energy and makes the workouts worthwhile!

Hanna is a hugely talented and wonderful ballet teacher. My 16 year old daughter absolutely loves her 1 2 1 lessons with her both at home ( pre Covid) and on Zoom during lock down.
She pushes my daughter , yet, at the same time, is patient, positive and boosts her confidence. These lessons are keeping my daughter going through these difficult times. Cannot recommend highly enough. And - gives her lessons in Welsh too if you want. Diolch Hanna

I always look forward to Hanna’s lessons. She plans the lessons really nicely and chooses lovely music. Her corrections are really helpful and she really takes you into a new level of ballet. She is always on time and committed to her lessons and confident and clear with her instructions. And if I have any questions or am I sure of anything I always feel comfortable to ask as Hanna listens carefully and gives very good advice. I would thoroughly recommend Hanna and her ballet lessons to anyone wanting to learn ballet.

Find out more about Hanna

What age did you start dancing? Tell us about this time or moment in your life.
I started with ballet, tap and jazz at around 5 or 6 years old. I was a very easily distracted child so dance helped me focus. I loved the costumes, the lights, the music and immediately fell in love with performing.
What are your favourite styles in dance? those that you practice at a high level, a simple hobby, and a style that you'd still like to discover?
I've danced in both ballet and contemporary companies and I love the challenges both styles bring. There was a point where I could have chosen to pursue musical theatre but in the end I chose contemporary because my singing voice was a little lacking and I was more curious about contemporary dance styles! A dance style I'd love to try one day is Ballroom.
What gives you the motivation and passion to pursue dance?
I've been dancing for 25 years, 10 of those professionally and I still find joy and contentment in this career. I'm constantly surprised by how dance continues to challenge and inspire me. I'm motivated to make the dance industry a better place for future generations and believe in a nurturing and flexible approach to each student I teach.
Do you have a dancing achievement that you're particularly proud of?
I'm proud of my resilience and drive in continuing despite how difficult the dance industry can be, especially on the other side of a pandemic. Some highlights of my career so far would be touring the UK with Ballet Cymru and getting a contract with my dream company out in Switzerland where I'm fortunate enough to be dancing still.
How have your achievements and challenges made you a better dancer?
I think the challenges I've faced as a dancer have taught me resilience and flexibility in my career. I keep open minded, I go outside my comfort zone and I work very hard all of which I'm proud of.
If you had to join class with a famous dancer, who would you choose? And what questions would you ask them?
It would have to be Patrick Swayze! I'd love to dance with him and to do the dirty dancing lift of course!
How do you help people stay motivated?
I'm very passionate about creative approaches to learning. I adapt to the needs of my clients depending on their experience, age and what inspires them. My most valued teachers always taught with kindness, patience and curiosity; I endeavour to do the same.
What makes you a Superprof in dance?
Unless we are working on exam preparation, I usually don't follow a syllabus or a rulebook. My classes revolve around your needs and goals. Maybe you have some exercises you've been struggling to pick up or a particular move that you don't understand. That's where I come in. I love getting to the bottom of a correction, dissecting it and building up complexity from there. I prioritise your learning style and adapt to where you're at physically and emotionally. I pride myself on knowing when to push and when to gently nudge! I offer more than private classes, I offer support, advice and mentoring in an ever evolving industry.
