“Always livin’ my life like it’s Golden”

Born in South Korea, at the tender age of ten months she was adopted to Sweden.
Hanna grew up on an island in the Baltic sea called Gotland, it was there she discovered her passion for dance and music. It has from then brought her to many different places around the world. Places she has performed/taught in are for ex. Kingston – Jamaica, all over the US, France, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Belgium and Canada. She is currently residing in Brooklyn, NYC.

As a versatile choreographer/dancer she prefers not to be pigeonholed but her main styles are “Dancehall Fusion” (eclectic mix of Jamaican dancehall, different carribean dances, african, bellydancing and south american dances), hiphop and streetjazz. She is always open for new influences and interested in different cultures.

In September 2009 she founded Blackgold Dancehall Choreography Crew together with choreographers Genius and History. Together they have been performing all over the US and recently on CBS Early show alongside Mr. Vegas and the New Kingston band for over three million viewers. The dynamic trio are now highly sought after by artists and club promoters all over the world.

Her passion for music has now brought her into the world of artist management & development. Working closely with Cherry L, dancehall/reggae artist and poet originally from St Lucia. Other artists she is working with are for ex. Keida (Jamaica) and Mr. Lexx aka Lexxus. Working with artists, writers, producers and DJ’s gives Hanna the opportunity to be a part of the process of creating the music from scratch. It’s all connected and Hanna, having such a multifaceted background, brings a breath of fresh air to the industry.

Hanna Herbertson is determined to take her dancehall fusion artists and dance to the world!
