About Us

    Hayden Creech is an ABT certified teacher (Pre-Primary- Level 3) and is one of the three Level 3 certified Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) teachers in North Carolina. She is passionate about giving dancers autonomy over their training. Currently, she is teaching at UNCSA Preparatory Dance, Surry County Dance, and privately.

    She began dancing at 15 and was immediately consumed by the artistry and challenging technique of classical ballet. She spent three years training with the University of North Carolina School of the Art's Preparatory Program, where she also studied pedagogy and worked in children's ballet. 

    While starting dance in high school was a challenge, Hayden's biggest obstacle has been her body. The struggle with an extremely shallow demi-plie, pelvic and shoulder malalignment, and limited external rotation has taught her so much about technique and anatomy. Classical technique does not come naturally to every body, but that does not mean classical technique can not be adapted for unique anatomy through methodical work. Every body is a dancer's body and Hayden is passionate about finding ways for her students to embrace their full dance potential in safe, efficient, empowering ways.
