Hannah grew up in the village of Hassocks. She attended dance lessons locally, with Miss Karen as one of her first teachers! At the age of 18 she trained professionally at the prestigious Laine Theatre Arts, graduating with an Honours Diploma in Musical Theatre, her LAMDA classical and contemporary acting certificates and her ISTD teaching qualifications in Ballet, Modern and Tap. Hannah has worked with Derek Deane, Director of English National Ballet, with Denise Van Outen on ‘Passport to Paradise’ and in the British comedy film ‘Confetti’ with Martin Freeman and Jessica Hynes. She has appeared in a number of musicals and concerts, including ‘My Fair Lady’, ‘Is There Life After High School’, and the Bernstein opera ‘Candide’, and appeared in concert at the Palace Theatre, London.

Hannah now lives in Burgess Hill with her husband, Phil, who is a professional dancer and their son, Alexander. As well as teaching, Hannah also choreographs for a number of local societies, including Haywards Heath Operatic Society, Burgess Hill Musical Theatre Society, Pied Piper Productions and Act Too productions. She can usually be seen treading the boards in Burgess Hill Theatre Club’s annual pantomime. Hannah graduated from the University of Sussex with a BA Hons in History and most recently gained her Masters, specialising in history of dance and the theatre.
