About Ms. Hanrahan
Welcome back Hornets! I am so excited to be the Dance Teacher at Hopewell Middle School for the 2018-2019 school year!
I began my dancing career at a young age in the good ole city of Cedar Park, TX. I danced and taught at several studios around the Austin area, and was a 4 year member of the Cedar Park High School Celebrities dance team.
After high school, I attended Texas Tech University (wreck em!) where I graduated in 2015 with a B.A. in Dance and a minor in Secondary Education. I did my student teaching at Frenship High School where I assisted with Varsity and JV dance teams and taught classes of various abilities and dance genres. During my time at Tech, I was Vice President of the University Dance Company, a member of Chi Tau Epsilon National Dance Honors Society, and a member of Alpha Phi Sorority. During college I was grateful to receive a scholarship to travel to Trinidad to perform and take classes at the Contemporary Choreographer's Collective. Additionally, I had the opportunity to study abroad in the Czech Republic where I participated in a 6 week progam, The Arts in Prague.
After college, I've spent my time spreading my passion for dance all throughout the Austin area. I've taught for Cedar Park Dance Company, Kinderdance, Killeen ISD, and most recently was the Dance Specialist at Voigt Elementary Arts Integration Academy in Round Rock ISD. I am SO excited to get to share my love of dance with the awesome students of Hopewell Middle School! I know it's going to be a great year!
