About this studio
Heather's Dance Academy is a non-competitive, Christian-based studio in Greenville that focuses on building strong, confident dancers through a positive and encouraging environment. The studio operates on a seasonal schedule running from August 17, 2026 to May 1, 2027, with a spring recital held on May 1 (doors open 7:00 PM, show begins 7:30 PM). Classes are structured by skill level first, then by age and readiness, ensuring dancers are placed appropriately.
The studio teaches combination classes and pointe classes. Combination classes require a leotard and tights (pink, tan or black), pink ballet shoes with elastics tied and tucked, and black tap shoes. Pointe classes require a leotard and tights, with pink pointe shoes and pink ballet slippers. Pointe shoes must be fitted and purchased from The Sock Basket and approved by your instructor before elastics and ribbons are sewn on. All students must speak with their instructor before enrolling in pointe. Hair for pointe must be worn in a bun or pulled back away from the face.
Heather's Dance Academy has a strong track record in local Christmas parades, earning awards including "Overall Grand Prize Winner" and "1st Place Dance Team" at the Travelers Rest Christmas Parade in 2019 and 2018, and "Best Dance Unit" at the Greenville Christmas Parade in multiple years (2018, 2017, 2016). Students who dance for 1–4 years receive a trophy during the last class of the year, while those who have danced for 5 years or more receive their trophy on stage at the recital. Observation days are held several times during the year, with dates announced in monthly newsletters, allowing parents to watch classes. Students must attend dress rehearsal to participate in the recital; recital tickets are purchased separately from recital fees.
The studio maintains a structured environment with clear policies on attendance, punctuality, and behaviour. Regular attendance is emphasised as imperative, and students are expected to arrive 10 minutes early to begin warming up. Parents are not permitted to enter the studio during class times, as this creates distraction, particularly for younger dancers. The studio does not provide aftercare outside of dance classes. Make-up lessons can be arranged with instructors if classes are missed.
