THE FOUNDER
Heather Wanner
Born and raised at The Jersey Shore, I grew up surrounded by the Arts. Fortunate enough to study under mentors and directors from New York City and Philadelphia, I knew at a young age that the Arts held a very special place in my heart.
​
As a child, I studied and performed with Joanne Reagan Dance Studios and Jersey Cape Dance Academy. When not in the studio, I was commuting to Manhattan for auditions. A former Actor's Equity Member who was SAG eligible, some favorite memories include delightful moments in National Television Commercials, an Off-Broadway production of A Broadway Baby, local theater companies performing in Annie and The Sound of Music and a Co-Host of a local television show featuring artists from the Tri-State Area.
​
As a Pure Gold Dance Team member for ECU, ranked 4th in the Nation at the time, , I earned a B.S. in Elementary Education and a Dance Education minor. Following college, my journey extended beyond performance and to the classrooms of various Elementary, Middle and High School classrooms throughout North Carolina, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
​
I have been a member of Rhee Gold's DanceLife Teacher Faculty and Rhee Gold's SOUL for several years and am extremely proud to work amongst some of the most inspiring people in our industry!
​
For the past 20 years, I've proudly owned and operated Shoreline Dance Academy in New Jersey. Together with our incredible team of 12 faculty members, we've created a haven that dancers ages 3 to adults call home. I'm also a wife and a mother of 4 children and they have my whole heart . Excitement sparkles within me as I share my passion for nurturing spirits and aiming to inspire faculty and students alike.
