Hi, I’m Rosin (she / her) !
I have been dancing since kindergarten (ballet, Estonian folk dance, freestyle), but I’ve been learning K-POP choreos for about 6 years. I danced in another K-POP dance group for 3 years, 1.5 of which I was a teacher. I taught basically everything – boy groups, girl groups and solo artists. I am very-very excited about joining HANA and being able to teach K-POP choreos again!
If I had to choose my one all-time favourite K-POP choreo, it would be Naughty by Irene & Seulgi.

I started dancing quite late, in 8th grade, since I’d always been a choir singer and there wasn’t much time left over for anything else. However, by the end of middle school I’d realized that dancing was the something that I was missing from life and since then I haven’t really been able to stand still! By now I’ve over 10 years of experience.
Stylistically, I’ve been most involved with show and latin/zumba dances. I’ve also done ballet, a bit of hip-hop/house and Estonian folk dance. As for K-POP, I joined the community quite recently. That is to say that I discovered it last September when my all-time favourite band Coldplay collabed with BTS!
Getting invited to HANA came as a big surprise to me but honestly, it couldn’t have come at a better time and I can’t tell you how excited I am to begin this journey.
If I had to choose my number 1 favourite K-POP choreo, I’d choose ON by BTS.
Vivian
Hey, I’m Vivian (she/her)! I started my dance journey at the age of 3 and by now I’ve already 20 years of experience. I have danced both in studios and the school club. During this time I have practiced a lot of different styles: ballroom, show, street, hip hop, ballet, character, jazz and folk. My favourites are latin and street.
My first experience with K-POP was in 2011 while listening to PSY – Gangnam Style and 2NE1 – I AM THE BEST, but it was in 2019 that I got more into it and started learning the choreos of different groups.
The emergence of HANA Dance Studio in Tartu was very exciting for me because I hadn’t had the opportunity to share my passion and interest in K-POP dances before. It’s been a year now and I feel like HANA has become my second family, where I have the possibility to express myself and feel at home. I am super happy to have been invited to join HANA as a teacher and I’m already excited for the upcoming classes!
If I had to choose my most favourite K-POP choreo, then it would be Anyone by Seventeen.
Ester
Hi! My name is Ester (she/her) !
I started dancing when I entered first grade and attended practices for 9 years. I’ve experience with many very different styles, like jazz, house, hiphop, street, but my personal favourite has always been jazz-funk-hiphop. I was also an exchange student in South Korea where I had the extraordinary opportunity to learn this style at a dance academy in Daegu.
I have learnt K-POP dances mainly for my own entertainment. I am really happy to be a part of HANA and am looking forward to it with keen interest!
If I had to choose my most favourite K-POP choreo, it would be Simon Says by NCT 127, since it was the first one I ever decided to learn.
