pronunciation: And-rea High-ns | pronouns: she/they
By Samantha Weissbach, DWC Owner & General Manager
Andrea Hines trained in dance at a high level from a young age in classical ballet. She started in Tacoma City Ballet and transitioned to Evergreen City Ballet and continued to train throughout high school. Since then she took some time off from dance, moved to California and back again, got married and had a baby! In 2019 she decided to come back into the dance world. Starting in the administrative side and then gradually back into ballet classes.
Andrea speaks to the difficulties and realities of getting back into dance after having a baby. She says it is fully possible, but it takes time. Social media skews many mothers’ expectations and can make them feel inadequate if they are unable to bounce back immediately. She wants to share her journey, and show other mothers a realistic approach to returning to activity after the baby.
This has become an overarching passion for Andrea. They want to teach others that what you see on social media is often improbable to achieve and at times, simply impossible. She feels the culture has shifted into nonstop comparisons. She says, “love that body that you have now, and work with what you have.”
Andrea teaches at BLS and ECB which holds open classes on Saturdays for adults. They will be performing in Auburn December 8-10th and Ikea Performing Arts center December 15-17th.
