Hannah Monson
Hannah Monson is one of the owners of Movement Montana Arts Academy. Her experience and education have shaped her life philosophy: performing arts enrich the lives of children and every child has potential to grow their art. Hannah’s training includes classical ballet, jazz, musical theater, and modern. Hannah has performed in, as well as choreographed several musicals, inspiring her love for musical theater and story-telling. She obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Education from the University of Montana, but spent most of her college years studying abroad in Australia. There, she attended the Dance Arts program at Griffith University, where she danced and taught on the Gold Coast. After her time abroad, Hannah ended up back in Billings, Montana where she is now married with two kids, and continually growing in her art and passion for dance. She enjoys teaching everything- from the youngest dancers to the oldest, academy and competitive company, and everything in between!
What is your favorite memory during a performance or a class?
There are so many memories that come to mind, but one of my favorite memories would be during a class in Australia. The studio I was teaching at had a big garage door and we were dancing to a powerful song when it started raining, like pouring. We opened the big garage door and all went outside and danced the combo we learned in the rain. It was a magical moment!
What dance genre is your favorite?
My favorite genre is Musical Theater. I enjoy energy, Broadway musical story-lines, and sheer entertainment!
What do you always have to bring to the studio with you?
A celsius energy drink!
