Modern Expressive & Creative Dance Instructor
Heather Wilder
Heather Wilder has been teaching Modern and Partner dancing to people of all ages for 26 years. In 1996, she graduated with a minor in dance from Humboldt State University. In 1999 she won the WOR swing dance championship in New York and in 2003 she was cast as a dancer in “Swing, The Movie”.
Heather’s love of dance inspired her to develop her own dance program which teaches modern dance basics with an emphasis on joy and acceptance in the dance environment. “When I consider my teaching philosophy, I think about what dance has given me. #1 JOY! I want my students to have fun and love what they are doing. I want dance to bring them joy. #2 CONFIDENCE! I want my students to believe in themselves, love their bodies, and appreciate what they can do. I want dance to raise their confidence. If I can bring either of these elements to class (and maybe slip a little technique in there too), I have succeeded!”
