Dawn George
“Miss Dawn” began dancing at the age of six in Indiana where she studied for most of her formative years under the direction of Margie Thilmont and Irene Hand (London's Royal Academy of Dance). She continued her dance education at Indiana University's Ballet Conservatory with Melissa Lowe and Jory Hancock (University of Arizona). She has studied with several top dance instructors in their fields including: Mandy Moore, Doug Caldwell, Joe Tremaine, Frank Hatchett, Jeanette Neill, and Finis Jhung. She continues to take classes in Boston and New York attends at least one major dance teacher’s conference a year.
Prior to moving to Boston, Dawn was a member of the Andanté Dance Company and a senior instructor/ choreographer at Attitudes Dance by Aimeé. She was selected for two years running as the children’s choreographer for Moscow Ballet’s Nutcracker. In addition to teaching jazz and lyrical, she is currently director of the classical ballet program at a Boston area dance school. For more than 15 years, she has taught ballet, pointe, jazz, and lyrical and her students have gone on to both dance professionally and study with the Joffrey Ballet, Indiana Ballet Conservatory, American Ballet Theater, Alvin Ailey, Boston Ballet, and Finis Jhung.
Miss Dawn hopes to pass on to her students the passion, enthusiasm, and joy that she feels for the art of dance.
