Hazel Grant | Arts Educator Interview

Hazel Grant is the founder and director of Glasgow Dance Academy – a dance school offering young people an outlet to express who they are and build confidence. Hazel has also recently been appointed Dance Lecturer for West of Scotland College.  

After a career as a professional dancer working and performing internationally, Hazel obtained a Masters of Education in Learning and Teaching in the Performing Arts from Royal Conservatoire Scotland, a first class Honours Degree in Dance (Distinction), qualified as a Primary school teacher and Secondary School Dance teacher.
