Heather Brown was born and raised in Jacksonville, N.C. and moved to Wilmington in 1998. She is married to Brad and they have three children: Parker, Cooper, and Tatum. Heather has been dancing since the age of three. Throughout her career, she has studied tap, jazz, ballet, modern, lyrical and pointe. With a wide-range of experience, she has been able to successfully compete up and down the east coast for over 20 years, both as a student and a teacher. Heather has taken master classes with professional choreographers including Gene Medler (Founder of the North Carolina Youth Tap Ensemble), Dianne Walker and Brenda Buffalino. While she appreciates EVERY form of dance, her passions lie with rhythm tap and the joy she receives watching young ones grasp the art for the first time. Her awards range from Platinum to Special Choreography to Creativity and all points in between. Past choreography has been featured at the Alabama Theatre in Myrtle Beach, S.C. and on the stage at Walt Disney World.
