Episode 39: Hannah Anderson
The beautiful Hannah Anderson joins me for episode 39! Hannah is a wife, a mom of two creative and expressive kids, and a dance artist. Her love for God is evident and is an integral part of her life as an artist. In our conversation, we talk about a variety of topics such as grief, holistic health, and the power of dance in worship.
Hannah began her dance journey at Dramatic Truth School of the Arts in Kansas City. After graduating from their ballet and modern program at 16, she discovered the beautiful Jose Limón technique. That season was pivotal for her as a dancer. Hannah danced as a company member for Dramatic Truth, Storling Dance Theatre, Dance Ad Deum and then helped found Open Sky Arts Collective, which now has two locations and is directed by Jeanna Vance.
Hannah is passionate about wellness, from both the perspective of a dancer and a mom. One of the most impactful parts of our conversation for me personally was diving into the topic of grief and what it looks like to work through grief in a way that leads to emotional wellness. Currently, Hannah oversees dance for her church in North Carolina, where she serves with the musicians and vocalists to lead worship on Sunday mornings.
