Heather is an LA based dancer, teacher and choreographer. She defines her bellydance as an organic movement integrating classic dance form with pure, heart-rooted creativity. Heather is inspired by life’s many sources. She believes dance has the power to heal, awaken and delight body and spirit.

Heather has been studying movement since she can remember. Her path started early in gymnastics, cheerleading, jazz, modern, and hip-hop dance. She's also dabbled in ballet, classical Indian, African dance and tai-chi. She has studied bellydance in Egyptian, Turkish and American Tribal styles. Choreography has been a love and present in Heather’s life for many years, from shows for mom and dad, to high school half-times, to a short independent film, to stage/theatre productions. Heather’s work has included educating and performing in private schools, retirement homes, private parties, children’s birthday parties, corporate environments, film and TV sets, farmer’s markets, street fairs and other community events.

She also has a very powerful connection with healing and has been involved in bodywork since 1998. Heather maintains a private healing practice in which she utilizes knowledge of massage, Reiki, aromatherapy, herbology, movement and diet to facilitate optimum health. She encourages self-healing. She has been developing her class “Chakra Dance” for the past 2 years.

Heather hit the competition circuit in 2007 and brought home trophies for Belly Dancer of the Universe: Tribal Fusion Solo Champion and People's Choice, Hips of Fury: Ultimate Soloist and People's Choice and Arabesque Bellydancing Competition: 2nd Place

Heather’s plan is to continue to teach and delight as long as her life allows.
