Hannah Romanowsky

Hannah Romanowsky is a dance artist, choreographer, and cultural storyteller who invites women to awaken their inner radiance through movement. With a joyful and culturally informed approach, she helps students cultivate confidence, presence, and soulful self-expression — dancing with beauty and freedom both on stage and in life.

A master teacher and cultural dance specialist, Hannah brings decades of experience choreographing, performing, and guiding dancers into deeper artistry. Her repertoire spans Persian, Afghan, Central Asian, Turkish, Romani, Spanish, and Arabic traditions, alongside original works such as Scheherazade’s StoryDance of the Warrior Queens, and comedic musical theater pieces.

Her training bridges Eastern and Western traditions, blending classical ballet, jazz, and musical theater with traditional dances of the Silk Road and Romani communities. This unique background shapes her philosophy: that dance is both craft and ritual, discipline and delight.

Ethnic Dance Company, and Wan-Chao Dance, and has graced international stages and world-class museums — including San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts, the British Museum in London, and festivals in India, China, and Tajikistan — as well as countless private events.

Through performances, workshops, and her Dunyazade Dance Ensemble, Hannah weaves together tradition and innovation — empowering women and inviting audiences into a world of beauty, artistry, and enchantment.
