Leslie Woodard Dance Studio

Leslie Woodard Dance Studio

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

Zanele Nzau

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!
