The Principal

Kellie Hansen: C.S.T.D QUT ADA.Dance

Hello, my name is Kellie Hansen the Principal of the Danzart Studio. I have been extensively trained in classical, Contemporary, Modern Jazz, Tap and Acrobatics. I have also been trained in a full time institution studying Classical Ballet, Contemporary, Character, Dance Composition, Anatomy, Musical Theatre and Stagecraft. I have been instructor of dance for over 20 years.

Further study in Child Care has given me a greater understanding of the development of the students and has encouraged my approach to teaching dance in a nurturing and positive manner. While teaching the art of dance and encouraging the students to achieve in this extra curricular activity my primary philosophy is that every student’s self-esteem and confidence is always being enhanced.
