Meet our dance director
With a passion for dance that has spanned over 26 years, I have dedicated myself to perfecting my craft both competitively and professionally. I have had the privilege of dancing in front of esteemed audiences, such as the United Nations, and have earned numerous awards for my performances.
Throughout my dance journey, I have taken countless master classes with industry professionals to further enhance my skills and technique. I have also graduated from a prestigious performing arts program, where I honed my abilities and learned the ins and outs of the dance world.
Now, I am thrilled to bring my expertise and love for dance to the students here at DeLuca Dance Company. I am excited to share my knowledge and passion with each and every one of you, and I look forward to helping you reach your full potential as dancers. Let's dance our hearts out together!
Hanlin Kravchenko was born and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida. With a career that began at the tender age of 5, Hanlin has always been dedicated to the art of dance. From the moment she first stepped into a ballet studio, the elegance and discipline of classical ballet became her passion. She performed several times with the Moscow Ballet as well as attending summer intensive programs at different schools in Florida and New York. However, life took an unexpected turn when a knee injury required surgery, abruptly ending her promising ballet career.
Undeterred by this setback, Hanlin continued to nurture her love for dance in a new direction. She began teaching ballet and as an adult, she discovered the enchanting world of ballroom dance and instantly fell in love with its dynamic energy and expressive possibilities. This rekindled passion ignited a new chapter in her life, leading her to embrace ballroom dance with the same fervor that once defined her ballet career.
Today, Hanlin is thrilled to share her journey and enthusiasm with the next generation of dancers. As a dedicated ballet and ballroom dance instructor, she is committed to fostering creativity, discipline, and self-expression in her students. Her teaching philosophy emphasizes nurturing each individual's unique artistic voice while instilling a deep appreciation for the beauty and precision of dance.
With a warm and encouraging approach, Hanlin looks forward to guiding students through their own dance journeys, helping them to explore and express their creativity with confidence. Her passion for teaching and love for dance are evident in every class, as she strives to inspire and empower young artists to reach their full potential.
