Isabel Hansen spent the first 10 years of her life upside down as a gymnast, and when she discovered dance, her world turned right side up!

She has spent the last decade training in any style she can get her hands on, with a particular focus in contemporary, improvisation, jazz, hip hop, jazz funk, and acrobatics. Her dance foundation was established during her time as a senior competition team member at the New Canaan Dance Academy. She went on to earn a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science with a minor in Dance at the University of Vermont, where she pioneered UVM’s first all-inclusive dance club, Dance Force. Isabel's evident passion for wellness and movement drives her journey into young adulthood. She is thrilled to continue grooving with DanceWorks Boston for her 4th season and to embark on her next artistic exploration as a second-time choreographer!
