I was initially nervous that I simply wouldn't have enough space in my apartment, that my window sill wouldn't be an adequate ‘barre’, but I just re-arrange my furniture accordingly, do a little quick shuffling when we turn to do the other side and I can make it work!"

MEET HEATHER
FOUNDER & ARTISTIC DIRECTOR - A.I.S.T.D (Dip)
HOLDER OF THE ENRICO CECCHETTI DIPLOMA
My vocation began in South Africa where I trained extensively as a dancer before travelling across the US, Canada, and the UK, gaining a wealth of experience from performing, touring and teaching.
Being a performer is incredibly tough, not just physically but mentally as well. I understand how operating in high pressured environments can have an impact on wellbeing, and so I always look to provide an outlet in my workouts – whether that’s working up a sweat or relaxing with stretching and posture correction.
Going on to teach internationally following retirement from performing, I spent a number of years working on some amazing grass roots projects, introducing ballet to children in deprived areas; rewarding work that helped me develop many techniques to promote inclusion.
