HEATHER EASLEY
movement artist
PRE-PROFESSIONAL
Heather's work with pre-professionals is intended for dancers ages 8-18, across all levels. She enjoys working with students who are eager to grow, try new things, and share their artistry.
Heather has been working with aspiring young artists since 2016. She believes deeply that dance teaches more than just technique, and hopes to foster the artistic, playful, explorative, and fearless spirit in each child and teenager she works with.
Her teachings have reached many students across the US and internationally, both within and outside the studio. She has mentored students looking to develop a career in professional dance, coached auditions, brought her expertise to many conventions, and fostered a youth leadership program through dance in elementary schools.
Heather's students have achieved outstanding scores at both regional and national competitions, earning special awards and titles along the way. In the 2023-2024 season alone, Heather's students were awarded over $250,000 in scholarships. They have gone on to study at Point Park University, The Boston Conservatory, and IU, and have performed with the Boston Celtics, at Tedx, and many companies across the country.
