About Heather
Heather Ballew has always been drawn to music and movement. Inspired by a certain movie, Heather was thrilled to discover swing dancing in Denver and tried to enlist friends to join her in her desire to dance. Unbelievably to her, none of her friends had that same interest and for five years she dragged different people with her to beginner lessons. Finally, frustrated with being a perpetual beginner, she struck out on her own, taking classes and meeting people with a similar passion for dance.
Heather is dedicated to being the best all-around dancer she can be and she loves studying as many styles of dance as she can. For two years she taught ballroom, latin, and swing dancing at World of Dance in Denver. Since 2003, she has performed and competed with the Denver swing dance troupe, 23 Skidoo. She has been an instructor at Beantown Summer Camp, Balboa Rendezvous, and Rock That Swing. Her proudest dance achievement to date has been organizing and growing a group of mighty fine balboa dancers. She is known for her personal investment in her students’ success and is a popular instructor in greater Denver for both Lindy Hop and Balboa.
