A Space for Students to Showcase their Creativity

Teaching young souls to trust their own creativity and perform their own work is the dream of Amanda Hahn’s BritZa Performing Arts Studio.

I started dancing at BritZa Studios as a student when I was four years old. I began teaching at BritZa in 2006. Now I am full owner of BritZa Performing Arts Studio fka BritZa Studios as of January of 2021. There is no doubt that I have a love for dance, but all of the performing arts have had an instrumental role in my life.

My grandfather died when I was just one year old, but he loved to enhance the lives of others through the arts. That spirit lives on through me. He loved to write plays, dance, and produce puppet shows with marionettes, many of which he made himself. My grandmother was a speech teacher, loved live theatre, and always had opera playing through the car when we were growing up. My parents continued to enrich my life with the arts by taking me to see on and off Broadway shows.

I learned that dance offers an outlet to express emotions, theatre provides a way to experience the lives of others which creates empathy and understanding, and music moves the unspoken language of the soul. All three can be woven together in perfect harmony.

I like to dream big. We opened our brand new beautiful facility in January so we could create that harmony... with different offerings for students to share their gifts and talents with an intimate audience, all in a showcase space complete with theater lighting and sound.

So my dream for this space is to equip students to trust their own creativity and to perform their own work in completely student-led performances. Guided by professionals, students can explore the elements of the performing arts and see their creativity shine in all areas: lights, script, costume design, directing, make-up, choreography, sound, tech crew, set design, and more.
