Boise Weekly caught up with Marla for a chat about her life her art and her take on the Boise dance scene. Boise Weekly: How did you start dancing?Marla Brattain Hansen: My folks put me into dance class because I was always dancing–starting from the time I was walking. My parents were both music lovers; they both sang and played instruments. So music was part of my growing up and I just reacted to the music. My dad had been on the football team in college and taken some ballet classes to improve his game. He was in the Air Force until he died in Vietnam so we moved around a lot… Physical awareness is a big part of my teaching: trying to do things right and not get hurt knowing when it’s time to take a break and let the body heal. So many dancers are paranoid of getting out of shape. They won’t take a break so they get hurt or run down. Part of it is that there are so many women out there that want to be dancers. A lot of companies figure if so-and-so gets hurt there’s always somebody else. So people push themselves.
