Heidi swapped karate for contemporary at the age of 13 after realising her passions lay in performance.
Karate to performance
She was selected to attend Northmead Performing Arts High School to pursue her love of dramatic arts.Heidi was recognised for having a natural rhythm and coordination when she hit the stage all wrapped up in an energetic personality.

Wanting to extend her education in Dance, Heidi commenced lessons at the “School of Contemporary”.

From there, Heidi developed a passion for learning the many styles and disciplines, both in the studio as well as in her formal education.Heidi selected Dance as her major where she received a Band 6 for her composition piece, “Sisters”.

My biggest achievement was representing the state of NSW in high school undertaking prestigious contemporary training. During this time, I was also fortunate enough to appear in music videos and films under Bollywood/Hip Hop choreographers. One of the biggest highlights of my career was being on stage in Packemin Productions 2015 season of Wicked the musical.
MY BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENTS
I am passionate about teaching children the art of dance, technique and performance quality after searching down many avenues of the dance industry and never truly feeling I had found my place. Until I started teaching the junior age group and saw how absorbent they were in the classroom and how eager they were to learn and gain new skills and experience. I look forward, every week to getting into my classroom and creating a positive, exciting and passionate environment for these young performers and imagining the big, amazing, exciting opportunities that these children have ahead of them, no matter what path this journey takes them on!
I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT COACHING
I love working at FPA because I feel this is where I was always meant to be. After sparking my passion for the performing arts in Miss Heidi's classroom where she taught me confidence, self-love and ambition, where else would I want to pass that energy on to this next generation of performers. I love that I get to come into a place where my heart can sing in the same studio that I get to dance and teach.
FPA isn’t work; It’s a second home
My ultimate goal with FPA is to become a studio that sparks a flame in every student who comes through the door and is infectious with passion, love and warmth so we can be a powerhouse of confident, strong, unique and humble performers!
