Choreographer Murray Louis said Miss Holm's "strongest contribution was the logic she brought to the confused thinking of early modern dance" and "an analytical approach totally devoid of sentimentality" in her teaching. The choreographer Glen Tetley recalled that when he was an impoverished student, Miss Holm cooked meals for him.
From these choreographer's reminiscences and evaluation, we can make sure Hanya Holm was appreciated and followed by more recently choreographer. From the reminiscences from Glen Tetley, we can know Hanya Holm is very kind and nice as a teacher. She not only told them how to show in dance, also helped her students' life.

Many speakers pointed out that Miss Holm had remained perpetually inquisitive. John Hunger, a dance teacher from Minneapolis, said he often heard her declare, "Every morning I am a beginner."

Form the John Hunger's said Holm often said" Every morning I am a beginner", we can know Holm always maintain his curiosity and imagination in dance. Although she already has very outstanding achievement on modern dance and ballet musicals, she did not give up to find more interesting and creative style in dance. Her spirit need us to study and have more positive influence on our life. Hanya Holm not only give people the best modern dance performance, but also give us a positive spirit to never give up and maintain our curiosity in life.
