ABOUT ANNA (she/her)

ANNA MORGAN F.I.S.T.D. A.R.A.D.

Anna trained at the Deborah Capon College, and was also heavily influenced by her time training and working in America. She was represented by Terpsichore Entertainment in New York and worked within theatre and television. Following this she became the company's UK talent representative, responsible for identifying and guiding talented artists seeking legal employment and representation in the USA.

Anna went on to train as a teacher, running her own school, the Hasland Dance Studios, for 6 years, achieving her Licentiate and Fellowship qualifications with the ISTD, and becoming a mutually recognised teacher with the Royal Academy of Dance. In 2015 she became an Approved Tutor for the ISTD and created Anna Morgan Dance, offering high quality teacher training for the Diploma in Dance Education qualification. When the pandemic hit, Anna pivoted to create online options for her DDE courses, allowing teachers to enjoy flexible, accessible courses rooted in evidence-based pedagogy and modern values.

Anna spent a number of years on the Ballet faculty at Performers College before joining Bird College as a Ballet Tutor in 2016, and the teacher training faculty of the Royal Ballet School in 2021 to deliver their 'Inspire' teacher training seminars. Anna is also an adjudicator for the British and International Federation of Festivals, is on the Advisory Board for the TIRED Movement (Trying to Improve Racial Equality in Dance), and has adjudicated and lectured throughout the UK and internationally.​

Anna’s choreography has been seen all over the world, including creating original work for Bailar Al Sol in the US and enjoying choreographic residencies at Moulin Belle in France and Andanza Puerto Rico.  Most recently he has  co-choerographed the critically acclaimed 'Black Beauty' for United We Dance International at Sadler's Wells. ​

Anna remains deeply committed to elevating the culture of Dance, both in educational settings and the professional industry. Her vision encompasses fostering a more compassionate, inclusive, and progressive dance community. At the heart of her mission lies the nurturing of the next generation of teachers, ensuring a thriving legacy for the world of dance.
