Ines Ha

Hello! My name is Ines, and I am a student dancer, leader, and creative artist passionate about using movement and art to connect and inspire others. Dance has always been my voice — a way to express strength, resilience, and emotion. From ballet to contemporary styles, I have trained and competed in various settings, earning recognition such as YAGP Top 12 Los Angeles (2024–2025) and Silver Awards for Ballet and Contemporary at the Daehan Dance Art Concours (2025–2026).

​

Beyond performance, I believe in the power of dance to heal and bring communities together. That belief led me to found Project Étoile, a non-profit organization dedicated to creating an inclusive space where children of all abilities — including those with Down syndrome — can move freely, express themselves, and shine.

​

At Harvard-Westlake School, I strive to lead with creativity and compassion. I have served as All-School President (2023–2024) and Student Ambassador for three consecutive years, while also directing community events such as the Larchmont Fair. My academic dedication has earned me recognition including the Harvard-Westlake Honor Roll (2024–2025) and NLMC National Honorable Mention (2022–2023).

​

In addition to dance, I express myself through visual art, creating clay sculptures, photography collages, and designs that reflect my perspective on empathy and inclusivity. I also enjoy teamwork and challenge as a member of the school golf team.

​

Through every performance, project, and leadership role, I aim to celebrate diversity, empower others, and continue growing as both an artist and an advocate for inclusion.
