Hannah Archer

Originally from Southern California, Hannah has been dancing since the age of 3 and graduated with a Master’s of Fine Arts degree for Dance Choreography from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. She has trained primarily in Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop and Ballet for most of her dancing career. During this time she was also in Show Choir competitively for 6 years. However, during her time at UHM Hannah has continued to broaden her dance vocabulary through various Asian/Pacific genres and Modern Contemporary. Additionally, during her academic career Hannah has performed internationally in both workshops and festivals. As an Academic Artist who is still growing into her own choreography aesthetic, she has been recognized throughout her dance career for her performance and academic efforts. Most recently, she has received the Peggy Gaither Adams Award for Excellence in Choreography for Screendance/New Media Performance. Hannah’s love for dance does not stop on the stage or the screen, but carries into the classroom as well. She has been teaching at Punahou Schools since Fall 2023, and finds much joy in educating the young dancers of today!
