Hannah Carrita

Miss Hannah has been performing on stages across Cape Cod since she was 4 years old. She has acted in and choreographed productions at Cape Rep, Cotuit Center for the Arts, and Harwich Junior Theater among many others.

She is an alumnus of the SDA competition team, winning many special awards and high point trophies in her competitive career. She began teaching classes at SDA in 2012, and is very proud of everything her students (who she refers to as her minions), both non-competitive and competitive, have achieved over her years of teaching.

Miss Hannah wants her dancers to be fierce, and fearless, and to believe as she does that they can do anything they set out to do. (And they always prove her right!) In her other life, Miss Hannah is a ECE certified preschool teacher at the West Parish Family School.

Kelly Cameron

Kelly is a proud Sandwich Dance Academy alumni who is beyond excited for her fourth year of teaching at SDA. In 2020 she received her Bachelors Degree in Dance from Dean College, where she studied many genres of dance over the years. She currently specializes in contemporary, ballet, and hip hop, but has choreographed many other genres as well.

For 10 years, Kelly was a member of the SDA Competition Team where she received many High gold, Platinum and Special Awards in both regional and national competitions. This year, all of Kelly’s competitive routines received platinum awards at Turn It Up Dance Challenge.

She is very proud of everything her recreational and competitive students have achieved, and looks forward to being able to share her passion for dance with her students.
