The Leslie Woodard Dance Studio, located off the student lounge in the college’s lower level, is a fantastic space for dance rehearsals or workout routines with friends. The studio has an excellent sound system and is equipped with a sprung floor.
The studio memorializes former dean Leslie Woodard, whose joie de vivre, love of dance and support of students lives on in Hopper College.
Dance Studio Manager, 2024-2025
My name is Zanele Nzau. I was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa. I have a strong interest in health sciences and medical history so I decided to major in HSHM. I love music and its many forms: instruments, recordings, traditions, dance, etc. These days in the studio I am working on kpop choreography and Afro-dance style techniques.
Please feel free to contact me by email at zanele.nzau@yale.edu if you would like access to the Hopper Dance Studio!
