Anna Philan (instructor): Hello, my name is Anna! I fell in love with dance at 3 years old, and I haven’t stopped loving it since. Throughout my years, I’ve trained in jazz, hip hop, contemporary, modern, tap, ballet, and pointe. I trained in Portland as a youth company member until moving to Eugene at 14 and began dancing at flex Studios. At flex, I trained 6 days a week, participating as a competition group member for 6 years, traveling and taking from world renowned choreographers at conventions and workshops. At 16 years old, I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to teaching dance, specifically jazz, contemporary, and hip hop. The opportunity to share the art, athleticism, discipline, and freedom of dance with up and coming generations is a dream come true! Dance is a beautiful way to worship God and share His grace and perfect love with others. I strive to share that with youth and encourage them in their walk with Jesus, strengthening their hearts in the Lord. I have been instructing for 4 years, offering solos, duets, small groups, and large groups for recitals, local performances, and competitions. Outside the studio you may find me painting my nails, playing with my cat, or eating chocolate covered strawberries.
