Hara Kyriazi is a Greek dance teacher, performer and lecturer whose work bridges performance, pedagogy and research. Based between Greece and the UK, she successfully established herself in Oxford, where she built a thriving dance community during ten beautiful and successful years of teaching — a community that continues to flourish today. She now travels to the UK multiple times per year to continue teaching and nurturing this artistic network she helped create.

Hara graduated as a dance teacher and dancer from Niki’s Kontaxaki – Nikoletta’s Bakali Higher Professional Dance School in 2012. She also holds a degree in Archaeology and History of Art from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (2014), reflecting her deep interest in the body as both cultural and historical narrative.

Since 2012, she has taught full-time across Greece and the UK while performing with companies including Traverso, Nu Wave, Justice in Motion and Thomas Page Dances. Throughout her career, she has participated in intensive workshops with internationally recognised artists and organisations such as Matthew Bourne, Tavaziva Dance, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Zoi Dimitriou, Renate Graziadei, Athanasia Kanellopoulou, Ted Stoffer, Nancy Nerantzi, Sayaka Ichikawa, Tommaso Petrolo, Georgia Tegou, among others.

A regular teacher at East Oxford School of Ballet, Hara began developing her own independent programme in Oxford in 2020, cultivating not just technically strong dancers but a committed and supportive artistic community grounded in consistency, excellence and care.

She is Co-Founder of Pro Dance Oxford, an initiative dedicated to high-quality dance training and professional development. She is also a certified Progressive Ballet Technique teacher and a certified Rambert Grades teacher.

In 2024, she completed her MA for Professional Practitioners with Distinction at the Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance (2022–2024). Her research project, “Performing (M)otherhood: Excavating Identity and the Role of Neuroscience in Performance Preparation,” explored the transformation of identity through motherhood, examining embodiment, habitus and the neurological dimensions of performance preparation.

In 2025, she further expanded her academic profile by working as a Lecturer at the Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance, teaching Dance history, contributing to conservatoire-level training within one of the UK’s leading dance institutions.

Her work continues to sit at the intersection of performance, education and lived experience — driven by artistic integrity, intellectual curiosity and a deep commitment to community building.
