We Will Miss You Hannah!

We are so proud of Hannah John who will be the first student to complete our Junior Company dance program! Hannah is a committed, persistent girl who we know will make great strides in the field of dance and beyond. As Hannah begins undergrad at George Washington University’s study abroad program in Paris, France, we look forward to seeing her succeed and be a role model for future Junior company students and parents alike. We wish you the best Hannah!
