Hannah Ganiear
As a young girl, Hannah Ganiear was introduced to dance by her two Emerald Belle babysitters. Encouraged by their shared passion for Friday night halftime shows, Hannah was determined to become a Belle. Now in her senior year, she has been a part of the Emerald Belle legacy for all four years of high school and is leading her family of 76 girls to conquer nationals and carry on the squad’s long-held traditions. Yet what Hannah treasures most aren’t the competitions won but the life-long friendships made along the way.
