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. You can take a
Chakra Dance workshop with Heather at Oasis Dance Studio in November.
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. She took the show on the road to the East Coast in
2007 with workshops in Toronto, Buffalo and NYC with PURE.
She is the proud leader of tribal fusion bellydance troupe, Se7eN, and is
constantly amazed by their dedication and spirit.
This year Heather took her solo show abroad with stops in England, Scotland
and Greece for workshops and performances. Upon returning to Los Angeles,
she decided to open her own studio in Pasadena, Bliss Dance and Wellness
Center, to combine her love of dance and healing.

and delight as long as her life allows.
