Level: Open

Connecting to the core for more powerful movements. through years of training in dance, pilates and yoga, heather has developed a strong technique and practice. in this class students will be lead through exercises, drills and movements that exemplify heather's approach to powerful and expressive movement.

Heather Stants began her exploration of Middle Eastern Dance in Chicago over ten years ago. In 1999 Heather relocated to San Diego, CA began teaching and created the Urban Tribal Dance Company.

Through their popularization of an "urban" influenced dance style, a paired down costume emphasizing body movements over ornamentation, the use of electronic music and the use of the dance form as a means of personal expression and interpretation, Urban Tribal has changed the face of contemporary belly dance.

As an instructor, Heather is known for her clear communication style and her ability to break down movements into easily understandable concepts.

As a choreographer, Heather borrows traditional influences and combines them with her own personal expression of living in the modern world around her creating innovative pieces that both reflect and inspire current culture.
