Class Schedule for Mary Heller Dance Arts

BeMoved® & Gentle Bemoved® Classes

for ALL movement abilities.

Yup, that's me in the front, arms out, in drag, performing Tap in Yavapai College's 
"Hello Dolly" with Toni Tennille, Nov. 2022. Maintaining my Musical Theatre chops, 
while supporting the cast I trained weekly in Tap & Ballet choreography 
Jan. - Nov. 2022. I was asked by choreographers Pam Cannedy & Stepan Oleksyn 
to choreograph two sections, including one three times/nights of the show 
due to cast members not able to perform a few shows.
