With over 20 years of experience as a dancer, Hannah has a deep-rooted passion for dance and
the joy it brings to others. Her training is primarily in ballet, including years of pointe work, though contemporary dance has always been her favorite style. She especially loves working with children and sharing the love of dance with her community. For her, dance is more than learning technique, it's building confidence, creativity, and a lifelong appreciation for movement. Outside of the studio, Hannah loves spending time outdoors, hiking, biking, or gardening. Dance has always been a family affair. Her mom was a dance teacher while she was growing up, and she is excited to carry on her mom’s legacy by inspiring the next generation of dancers and sharing the same love of dance that was passed down to her.

Amy grew up on Bainbridge Island graduating from Seattle Academy of Arts and Sciences. She then went on to graduate from Linfield College with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. In 2012 when her daughter, Kayla had her first on stage performance, Amy started helping backstage. Over the years she became an “extra” when the need was to have parents on stage and performed in the annual Nutcracker for several years. Her roll from backstage parent to onstage parent slowly turned into running the non-profit for Galletta Dance and later on the board for Bainbridge Ballet. Amy and her husband Josh have two children, Tanner 22 and Kayla 19. They currently reside in Poulsbo. When she is not working Amy enjoys traveling the world with her family and friends and scrapbooking all the adventures she has.
