Ha Nhi Tran (born 26 April 2003), a Vietnamese young dancer who is currently a full-time student of Kirov Academy of Ballet of Washington DC (USA).

Ha Nhi was introduced to ballet at the very tender age of 3 during my kindergarten year (2006-2007) but her exciting start with ballet got an abrupt pause in early 2008 due to her family relocation to the remote city of Miri in Sarawak, East Malaysia. Fortunately, Ha Nhi was able to continue her training shortly after at Piasau Primary School in Miri. Ha Nhi returned to Kuala Lumpur in 2012 and she immediately joined Meadow Ballet Centre, first as a part-time trainee to gain more experience and advanced ballet skills under the direct supervision of the great Principal Doris Chong.

Ha Nhi debuted as Clara in the Nut Cracker at Universal Ballet Theatre in Seoul (special performance to the public to celebrate 30 years anniversary of Universal Ballet) when she was 13 after winning the scholarships and medals at Canaan International Ballet Competition in Hong Kong. In the same year, she also won several gold medals from the competitions in Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam. She was awarded a full three-year scholarship to study at Kirov Academy of Ballet of Washington DC from 2017 to 2020 where she met her lovely teacher, Marianna Rozanova, the formal ballerina of Mariinsky Ballet Theatre.

According to Ha Nhi's teacher, she is a lovely student that posses grace, elegance, and discipline. Ha Nhi has a very nice explression when she dances, her love and passion for dance is displayed in every class, any performance and ballet competitions.

Ha Nhi was representing Kirov Academy of Ballet of Washington DC to participate in Youth International Competition/American Dance Competition in Florida in 2018 and received Fernando Bujones Living Memorial Award (Special Award) and the scholarships from prestigious ballet schools in the world such as Houston Ballet, Ellison Ballet, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre School, Colorado Ballet Academy, The HARID Conservatory however Ha Nhi keeps studying at Kirov Academy of Ballet of Washington DC where she really enjoys her time with beloved teachers and beautiful friends. In 2019, Ha Nhi gained further notice by winning a gold medal for contemporary and a bronze medal for classical ballet at 2019 Youth America Grand Prix (San Francisco region). Unfortunately, Ha Nhi missed the opportunity to perform in the Final of Youth America Grand Prix in New York due to the minor injury.

Ha Nhi is fully recovered and her dream right now is to become a better dancer from time to time that can help her develop into a professional ballet dancer in the future. Ha Nhi understands the challenges that lie ahead of her as there are definitely many better young talents at her age group everywhere; and she would keep trying harder and harder to improve herself in search for scholarship to a prestigious junior ballet company that can help fulfil her dream.
