What’s your name and where are you in the world?

Heather – London, England

What kind of dance do you currently offer? 

Dance fitness for all levels and ages to fun upbeat songs / songs that touch the soul – think wedding vibes, film songs and Taylor Swift :) 

What got you into dance? 

I have always loved dance – I grew up taking dance classes and just always loved to move / how it made me feel.

And I absolutely love weddings – how they create such an atmosphere of joy, love and positivity. I just wish I had more to go to.. :)

I taught zumba for a number of years, adding a bit of my own twist, and now I have completed the Active IQ Level Exercise to Movement and Dance Certification as well as the Keep FIt Association Level 3 Dance Laban FItness Certification. 

I want to teach to create a positive community for anyone (and any level) through movement. 

What do you like to do in your spare time?

Well, I love to move :) Run, long walks, yoga, dance, golf!

I also love travelling, photography, writing and learning a new language.

I love meeting new people from different cultures so London truly provides that incredible melting pot of people.

What do you love about the area you live and work in? 

I live in Crouch End, London – such a beautiful part of North London with incredible nature at your doorstep: Queens Wood, Highgate Wood, the Parkland Trail and tons of parks.

Quaint cafes and shops all around – a true villagey feel with Muswell Hill and Highgate just up the road.

I work in Covent Garden – one of my very favourite areas of central London particularly at Christmas time.

Why did you want to work with Popdance?

It’s right up my alley! :) I truly believe music can heal the soul – that is the exact case for me. Not only for my physical health but my mental health too – when I dance and listen to music that I love / brings back fond memories (nostalgia feeling), I am on such a natural high which positively affects every other area of my life. 

I wholeheartedly believe in the power of movement and music – I wanted to find and join a community that believes the same.
