Holly Hanks Wanta


Holly serves on the Artists’ Council of the Harrisonburg Dance Cooperative, bringing her background as a long-time theatre performer, her love of yoga and mindfulness, and her professional expertise in nonprofit administration, training, and peer recovery to support the Cooperative’s mission.

After many years in theatre and vocal performance, dance has taken on a new role in her life as a way to foster creativity, enhance connection to self and others, and serve as a sacred pillar in the larger arts community.

Holly focuses on behind-the-scenes work for HDC, managing the Cooperative’s technology and scheduling systems, and helping to ensure that dance remains a vibrant, inclusive, and transformative art form for all in Harrisonburg.
