Hannah Kahn is a master teacher of modern dance technique. Her class begins with a floor barre, then progresses to upper body work and moves to the barre. A warm up combination follows preparing the class for the main combination which is drawn from Hannah Kahn's repertory.
The main influences on Kahn's teaching are Jose Limon technique (Sally Stackhouse, Betty Jones, Jennifer Muller); ballet (Zena Rommett, Maggie Black): and in a more indirect way, the techniques of Martha Graham, Merce Cunningham and Paul Sanasardo.For now classes will continue to be available on Zoom as well as in person.

Hannah hosts her own company's activities here, as well as renting out the space to approved individuals. There is a large studio, suitable for class sizes of 10 or more, and a small studio for smaller groups. Sound equipment is available in both rooms. There are also two bathrooms, a changing room, and a modest library of dance-related books in the front room. This is a great space for learning and practicing dance!
