Heather Taylor

Director

Ms. Heather Taylor, Owner & Director began dance at the age of 6. She grew up in a small town in upstate New York where she studied tap, ballet, jazz, hip-hop, lyrical, acrobatics, pointe, and theater. At age 14, her dance group was invited to perform and compete in the Nationally televised show, "Star Search".

Some of Heather’s former students have gone on to become Washington Wizard Dancers, Washington Redskins Cheerleaders, performers in Broadway shows, attend colleges for dance and theater and have are members of college competition dance teams.
