The Membership came to me at a time when I felt lost and unsure of my career as a performer. I was a fresh graduate in the middle of a pandemic with no idea of where to start.

Hannah’s constant guidance and support helped me through this difficult time and gave me skills and a mindset I will carry with me for the rest of my career. From building a portfolio, to social media all the way through to audition techniques, I now feel that I have all the tools in my “tool box”.

Having 1:1 sessions with Hannah was a highlight for me as I felt such a personalised experience with her working on all the things I personally needed. Then having our “Wakeup Wednesdays” taught me all the things I needed to know without knowing I needed them. This mentorship is like no other and is a constant support when you need it most.

Hannah has helped me transition from just a dancer to a professional artist. Without her guidance and support I wouldn’t be where I am today. I cannot thank Hannah enough for everything this membership has given me.

When started the membership, I was feeling a little lost in where to go in my journey within the dance industry and what was going to work for me. I had just finished an abroad contract and felt like getting back to things in the UK at the current time was challenging. As soon as I begun working with Hannah I instantly felt like I was investing in myself and my career. Her 1 to 1 help meant that I could off load a lot of built up fears and ambitions for my career and we could come up with small steps to start pushing forward. In the time I worked with Hannah I moved house, starting a new job and have built up a portfolio I am happy to send off for work. I also feel motivated and keen to grow in the industry and no longer feel as overwhelmed. She definitely helped reignite my passion and drive for dance, whilst encouraging me to be myself and work smart for me. I would recommend the membership to any performer that wants extra guidance and an expertise from a kind, thoughtful and intelligent performer.

“I can’t recommend the membership enough! It’s an incredible supportive platform that not only gives insights to the performing arts industry, but other important topics such as mental health, setting boundaries, personal development, money management, self love/confidence and having healthy relationships with food and social media as a dancer. The membership has helped me with goal setting, creating better habits for myself and has helped me understand myself and my personal journey as a creative artist. Hannah is so professional, supportive, authentic, genuine and kind. She motivates you in your 1-2-1s and supports you even in your smallest of wins. The guest speakers are so insightful and have so much knowledge in their profession. If you feel stuck in your career as a performing artist, look no further then the membership”

When I started SWNA it was during the pandemic and during this period, like a lot of us, it was super difficult to feel motivated and confident with what my next step should be as a young performer trying to get her foot in the door. I felt completely lost.

SWNA help guide me into a much more positive mindset and to feel confident within myself, as a performer and with the next steps into my career. 1-1 sessions, live talks, online dance classes with Hannah, the list goes on with what SWNA has to offer and you come out of it with a whole new load of knowledge making you the best artist you aspire to be, mentally and physically. The push, lessons learnt and inspiration was always there and in a time I needed it the most and for that I’m so grateful. Thank you SWNA

“The membership came at a time where I was going through a real shift change in my life and I was seeking clarity and guidance. From the moment I had my first 1-2-1 with Hannah I felt held, supported and understood. Hannah holds a safe space where you feel comfortable to be vocal and vulnerable about your thoughts and feelings, and offers you guidance and the tools to make positive and productive changes.Not only does she have so much experience, knowledge of the industry and advice to give, she is also one of the most genuine people I know, and is so passionate about you becoming the best version of yourself whatever that looks like to you. Talking “real talk” about life and the ups and downs of the industry and how to navigate your way through it. Hannah has helped me to find confidence within myself, and has helped me grow not just as an artist but as a human and for that I am so grateful.”

“ When the pandemic hit, I felt entirely lost and began to question if I even wanted to perform as a career and become an artist! I was scared of the future and for what would happen to the arts industry. However, SWNA gave me the strength and fight to become the creative artist that I had always aspired to be! SWNA guided me to focus on the importance of mindset and trusting your own individual journey. I am truly grateful for all of the tools that SWNA has gifted me with and for helping me finding the confidence to be unapologetically me, I cannot recommend enough! “ 

I joined the membership at a time early on in 2022 when I was feeling quite lost and needed some guidance on what my next step should be in this industry. Hannah could not have been a better person to turn to. Her help, advice and knowledge that she shares on a 1-2-1 basis with each one of us is exactly what I needed to work out my path at that particular time. She even shares such valuable information on things such as taxes and pensions, which are not taught enough in dance college, which is why I would definitely recommend the membership to anyone in the early stages of their career. Hannah really went into detail with me on what she felt I was lacking in my portfolio, which is why I knew she was the right person to get my photos updated with and I booked onto “the self package. Normally you would turn up to your portfolio shoot with a case full of clothes and a very brief idea of the images you wanted to create. However with Hannah, we spent weeks in advance brainstorming and creating the looks that she advised would make my photos stand out from the pictures that I already had. Whilst being on the membership I ticked off a major goal which had been on my bucket list, and I truly believe this was supported from the mindset that Hannah had helped me to gain. Thank you Hannah and I cannot recommend her guidance, “the membership” and “the self package” enough!

I joined The Membership at the start of this year; at a time where the pandemic and injury had left me feeling completely lost. I was starting to really question whether I could keep trying to pursue and succeed in a career in dance or whether this was just an unrealistic aspiration. I desperately wanted to feel successful and feel proud of myself again but it all felt unattainable. In the next couple of months everything changed. Hannah is absolutely amazing! She is such an inspiration and she has a wealth of knowledge about the industry and how to succeed in it. She instantly puts you at ease, you feel like you’re talking to one of your close friends who is always lifting you higher. I am from a contemporary dance background and Hannah gave me all the tools to succeed within my skill set and also opened up a whole new world of opportunities to me. She makes you feel like nothing is unachievable and that with a little bit of guidance you can achieve everything you set your heart to.

What I also love about membership is that Hannah normalises talking about topics that aren’t addressed in the dance world but that everyone experiences on a daily basis. I graduated 6 years ago and I think no matter what stage of our career we are in, the arts can be tough and we all need a little advice and push in the right direction sometimes.

My 1-2-1s with Hannah have been invaluable. I’ve learnt more in the last couple of months than I have in the last few years. I also took part in The Self Package and now have a completely updated portfolio. This was a wonderful experience, I absolutely love the whole team who again made me feel so comfortable, confident and made the day so enjoyable. Since joining the membership, within a couple of months, I have secured dream jobs, I feel proud of myself and I am so much happier for it! I finally feel in control of my career and my future and it feels great! I can’t recommended So What Now Artist enough!

I joined the membership back in September 2020 when I began my third year of professional training. Hannah and her wisdom came at the perfect time as this really supported me throughout my graduate year. The membership helped me in so many different ways from providing me knowledge on the ‘business side’ of a dance career, to physical feedback in Hannah’s online zoom classes. Not to mention the incredible advice I received in my 1-2-1 sessions. I felt extremely comfortable talking to Hannah about any of my concerns & also setting career goals to help motivate me and push me in the right field of the industry that I’m interested in working in. I have now graduated and I feel so grateful for all of the knowledge I gained from the membership. I feel confident, prepared and ready to take on what the industry has in store for me. Thank you so much So What Now Artist!
