Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How did you get into stilt walking?
When Hannah was a child, her grandfather built two pairs of wooden stilts— one for her, and one for him to use to teach her. Hannah and her grandfather attended the Dutchess County Fair in Rhinebeck, NY every summer and admired the stilt walkers there.
Hannah adored stilt walking with her grandfather, and she dreamed of doing it professionally just like the stilt walkers at the fair.
In 2024, Hannah established Egret Stilts!
