Hanna DiLorenzo is a multidisciplinary freelance dance artist originally from Rochester, NY. She began her formal training at The Draper Center for Dance Education, formerly the school of the Rochester City Ballet. Later, she attended the University of North Carolina School of the Arts where she earned her BFA in Contemporary Dance, and completed her academics early before moving to Chicago to join the Hubbard Street Dance Chicago Professional Training Program (HS Pro). There, she completed her degree while performing alongside the main company, and was honored with the 2019 HS Pro Emerging Choreographer Award.

Now based in Chicago, Hanna moves fluidly between roles as a performer, choreographer, rehearsal director, and collaborator. She is a company member with Boykin Dance Project, a founding member of Little Fire Artist Collective, and dancer, choreographer, and rehearsal director for Niko8 Performance. Her freelance work has led her to perform pieces by artists including Braeden Barnes, Abdiel Figueroa Reyes, FLOCKWORKS, Alicia Johnson, Brian Martinez, Jessi Stegall, and Justin Rapaport, and she was also a cover for Robyn Mineko Williams’ Echo Mine.

Hanna’s choreographic voice is grounded in a desire to challenge convention—crafting work that moves with cinematic clarity while using staging and lighting as expressive tools. Her choreography has been presented by Chicago Live, Highland Park High School, HS Pro, Little Fire Artist Collective, Niko8, and See Chicago Dance. Most recently, she was selected as one of six choreographers for New Dances 2025, a collaboration between DanceWorks Chicago and Thodos Dance Chicago, where she premiered her newest work Behind Closed Doors.

Rooted in community and collaboration, and driven by an ever-evolving curiosity for how movement can shape experience, Hanna continues to expand her artistic practice through performance, education, and creative leadership.
