The Success of Each of Us, Benefits Us All!

Thank you for the Honor of Working With You!

  • “You truly have been one of the most amazing teachers I have encountered in my 10 years of dancing. Your positivity and passion for teaching inspired me, and made one of my least favorite styles of dance into my favorite. I will surely take your "Heatherisms" with me into the future! I’m going to miss you so much! XO”

    Natalie G., Epic Dance Company

  • “She has been teaching me for about 10 years and I’ve never been bored once! Heather is very important to me and has helped me grow as a person and dancer - from her “gooey” plies, and “hanging from the ears”, I take these with me everywhere I go.”

    Arianna B., Broadway Dance Theatre

  • “It is evident when taking her class that she is very knowledgeable and experienced and shares all her tips and visualizations to continually better your technique. I have a deeper appreciation for ballet from taking Heather’s class!”

    E. Ferguson, Eastern University

  • "Heather teaches us properly and professionally. She always gives us little images in our head, to picture and visualize the vocabulary. She always gives us something to improve on for the next class."

    Francesca, Sacred Heart University

  • "Heather is a very easy-going, friendly instructor and very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about what she teaches. She is very engaging with the students and uses a lot of really helpful imagery when giving advice and corrections."

    Catherine E., Eastern University

  • "Heather has been my teacher for eight years, and throughout those eight years she has given me so many tips and tricks to improve my ballet technique. I still use all of these reminders because of how helpful they are!"

    Adri S., Broadway Dance Theatre

  • "Heather is able to explain Ballet concepts that are very difficult to grasp, while keeping young students fully engaged. I know that I will use Heather's techniques in order to captivate students in a positive way."

    Claudia D'Alessandro, Pace Commercial Dance

  • "I am very glad that I have Heather this year, because even the years without her, her voice was constantly correcting me in my head! I’m always hearing her voice and “Heather-isms” when I am dancing! Her analogies always help!"

    Lara D., Broadway Dance Theatre

  • “Heather’s classes are filled with vocabulary in order to understand the intention behind the movements and the quality with which they are to be executed. She encourages the students to use their imaginations with memorable visualizations to help with technique and to create movement that will capture the audience.”

    - Sophia Pinkham, Eastern University

  • "Heather comes up with fun, easy ways to remember technique. She has awesome bar combinations and she quizzes us on vocabulary and translations. Heather made me love ballet after years of hating it!"

    Katelyn D., Epic Dance Company

  • "Heather makes Ballet enjoyable for all ages she teaches. Her ability to give us tips and how it sticks in our brains is incredible. Taking her class is one of the highlights of my week!"

    Mia K., Broadway Dance Theatre

  • "Heather is one of the most influential, creative and understandable teachers. "

    Sierra Krouse, Point Park Dance

  • "Heather re-introduced me to my love of ballet. Because ballet is so hard and so complex, Heather has a dictionary of “Heather-isms” which are funny and relatable sayings, that help her students apply corrections. After having Heather for the majority of my dance career, I am so glad that I can call her friend, as well as a teacher I can look up to!"

    Rebecca W., Drexel University Dance
