Hannah McClendon

Hannah McLendon is a proud Fort Worth native who discovered her passion for dance at age 10. She spent her early years training at a local studio, where she danced and competed from 4th through 8th grade.

In High School, Hannah joined the Timber Creek Sky Dancers drill team and quickly rose through the ranks—serving as a lieutenant during both her Junior and Senior years. She also shined as a choreographer, earning multiple top awards for her solos and small group routines.

After graduation, Hannah earned a spot on the 81st line of the World Famous Kilgore College Rangerettes. During her time with the Rangerettes, she performed at major events including the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the 80th anniversary of Pearl Harbor, the Cotton Bowl, and the Cattle Baron’s Ball. While at Kilgore, she was a member of the Industry Dance Company, served as Dance Club president, and earned her Associate of Arts degree.

She went on to complete her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance at Sam Houston State University, graduating summa cum laude. While there, she taught at Extreme Performing Arts Center and began choreographing for drill teams across Texas.

Hannah has spent the last five years with Crowd Pleasers Dance, teaching and choreographing for over 50 teams across the state. Her award-winning routines span a variety of styles, including Pom, Jazz, Contemporary, Lyrical, and Military.

Today, Hannah is the Head Director of the High School and Junior High Lionettes at Grapevine Faith Christian School, and is a proud member of the Open Sky Arts Collective. She is guided to magnify the Lord with dance by bringing energy, creativity, and a true love of the art to everything she does.
