Favorite Quote: "You have to love dance to stick to it.  It gives nothing back, no manuscripts to store away, no paintings to show on walls and maybe hang in museums, no poems to be printed and sold, nothing but that single fleeting moment when you feel alive."  -Merce Cunningham

Heather's Thoughts: Every moment on stage has its own story and impact taht stays with you forever, but a truly memorable moment for me is knowing that everytime I perform I am given the opportunity to reach out to someone. That I can be an inspiration to a child who may dream of performing on a stage one day. That makes every day worthwhile.
