Hannah has loved dance since the age of 3, training in RAD ballet and various other dance styles. She teaches dance throughout Ireland and London. Hannah was awarded a first class BA (Hons) in Ballet Education at the Royal Academy of Dance. She has also gained Licentiate of the Royal Academy of Dance, the highest award the RAD has to offer. Further Hannah has taken her Advanced 2, becoming an Associate of the RAD. Her studies developed in-depth knowledge of RAD syllabi, dance science, performance and choreography.
She has also completed the Karsavina Heritage Award, a syllabus of archived ballet pedagogy, training stylistic qualities of Russian, French, Italian and other ballet styles. Hannah was also very fortunate to receive the Winifred Cullis Memorial Award in her second year of study. Hannah has been selected to work various events hosted by the RAD in London, gaining experience as the lead chaperone at the Fonteyn International Ballet competition, RAD HQ open day and RAD Bedells Bursary, working events with renowned dancers such as Darcy Bussell and Anna-Rose O’Sullivan.
Emma started dancing at an early age, following the RAD ballet syllabus up to Advanced 2 level, whilst also studying modern, tap and musical theatre. She took part in many shows and competitions with the Susan Robinson School of Ballet, winning several awards at National level including the Molly Lake Musicality Award for Ballet at the All England Dance National Finals and the Dame Antoinette Sibley Scholarship at the RAD Dance Challenge. Pursuing her passion for ballet, Emma then trained at English National Ballet School, where she studied, performed and choreographed ballet and other dance genres at a very high standard. She performed on stages such as Sadler’s Wells Theatre and The London Coliseum, and was involved in reaching out to the wider community through various projects. In her final year she danced with English National Ballet in Swan Lake as a member of the corps de ballet. Since graduating from English National Ballet School with a Level 6 Diploma in Professional Dance, Emma has been working as a freelance ballet teacher, thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to share her knowledge and nurture students to achieve their best.
