Hannah Gawne

Choreographer

Hey everyone! I’m Hannah and I’m a choreographer at Move it Studios. Currently in our timetable I teach Freestyle, Modern Jazz, and our Senior Competition Team.

I’ve been with Move it from the very beginning - back in the Onchan Scout Hall days! So I have seen everything that Kate has visioned for the Company come to life and it makes me so happy to say I’ve been able to watch it happen.

When teaching, the most important thing for me is to create a welcoming, happy atmosphere where everyone can just love to dance. I often talk about how happy it makes me when I see the students confidence grow and I do believe this is one of the most rewarding parts of being a coach.

If you see me around the studio make sure to come over and say hi!

More about Hannah

Alongside choreographing at Move It, I also work a corporate 9-5 job, love spending time with my friends and going on holiday!

I started dancing age 9 in Freestyle, as that’s the only style we offered at the time and prior to this I was a gymnast. As Move It started to grow and Kate started to introduce more classes, I ended up wanting to do them all! Over the last 14 years I have trained in Freestyle, Modern Jazz, Contemporary, Lyrical, Hip Hop, Cheer and Tap. I often get asked at the studio what my favourite style is, and I think it changes everyday! At the time of writing this I’d probably say Lyrical was my favourite - or maybe Hip Hop because I love that too.

I have taken a variety of different dance exams with IDTA, gaining multiple honours and distinctions and also performed in all of our productions at the Gaiety Theatre.

Favourite Dance Memory:

My favourite memory has to be taking our now Senior team, to the dance summit in Florida in 2024. To be able to say you have choreographed a lyrical routine that represented the Isle of Man for the first ever time at the Summit, is kinda crazy when you think about it!
