I have enjoyed working at ANA and have seen all the benefits gynastics training gives to our young ones.
Heather has been dancing for almost 20 years; she spent most of that time on a competitive Team performing at Regional and National competitions as well as internationally. She had the opportunity to perform on a cruise line at the young age of fourteen the same year winning a junior title division at a regional competition. She began teaching dance in her teenage years, and has been unable to give it up.
She has been instructing competitively for five years holding several first places, as well as being awarded one of the top three directors in West Michigan area by a nationally recognized competition.
Her goal has always been to run a studio where students can learn in a professional environment with personal attention. She believes that we are here to inspire children to have confidence and faith in themselves; as they are our Inspirations.

Seeing my students gain confidence and grace is a gift that will last their whole life.
I have been coaching gymnastics on and off for the past 30 years, coaching everything from preschool to women's competitive gymnastics. My husband (Todd) and I owned our own gymnastics club in Holland, MI for eight years. I have been a USA Judge for the past 6 years and currently hold a level 10 rating. I also judge high school gymnastics and Special Olympics. I also work as a classroom aide for Zeeland Public Schools. I have been married to Todd for the past 18 years and we have two daughters, Kristen (17) and Kailee (15).
I love to travel, cook, and love classical music, especially Beethoven!
