Heather Hill started Legacy Ballet in June 2008 with ballet,
, Hip Hop, Modern, Tap and Yoga training for persons from the age of 3 onward. You
are never too old for this program and it can benefit any persons.
Her troupe has just concluded a production of The Nutcracker
Suite in Takena Hall at the Russell Tripp Theater at Linn Benton College. The pictures generously provided by Lori
Fluge-Brunker/LBCC Marketing Department for publication in The Commuter.
Patti Ball said “It was a delightful performance. The
backdrops were over the top magnificent, the costumes were beautiful, and the
dancers from the darling little mice to the beautiful snow princess were right
on cue.”
Mrs. Hill has 230 students in her program at the present
time and the registration is still open at her studio at 104 Main Street in
Albany. The lessons are based on a 9
week schedule at the cost of $85 per week for up to two hours with a multiple
family membership discount.
Erika & Todd D. have attested that their 3 daughters,
although loving different types of dance, all love coming to Legacy. She states that “Heather and her instructors
love what they do. They are passionate about dance, and want their students to
find confidence and freedom of expression in the movement of body, to have fun
and learn through the sounds, emotions, and movements of music. Legacy is a
warm and positive environment, where I know my girls love to spend their
time.”
Along with this glowing review, Erika said, “My girls adore
performing on stage, and the association that Legacy has with LBCC has been
truly wonderful! The Russell Trip Performance Center is a lovely venue to hold
recitals, and Heather and her team of instructors come up with beautiful
opportunities for the dancers to act out a story on stage. There is such
excitement to dress up in beautiful costumes,
apply make up, and go through rehearsals. The advantages of learning how
to perform in a theater in front of an audience will benefit my children their
entire life. We love being a part of the Legacy family!”
Another parent, Karen B. states that her daughter, Bethany,
“loves working with Miss Carrie in modern dance. Carrie is a joy and her
choreography skills are amazing. She's never afraid to be goofy and silly with
the kids and that makes classes extra-fun.”
Karen also said that she “especially enjoy watching Heather
work behind-the-scenes at productions. There is so much to do, but Heather
radiates a quiet sense of calm which keeps the students and parents from
getting too nervous.”
When asked about the cost and whether it is worth it, Karen
said “I think their rates are reasonable. I've priced it against other studios
and compared notes with other dance moms and Legacy comes out on top every
time.”
Heather has a staff of four, including a student from the
high school on internship.
While investigating ballet, it has been shown by Peak
Performance “that many players have swapped their pads for points, to do
ballet. Ballet dancers are renowned for their agility; they are able to leap,
land and turn with, well… with balletic grace.”
Because of this, a lot of sports teams are using forms of dance to help
their players become more flexible and graceful, therefore having fewer
injuries on the field.
Heather uses Russell Tripp Performance Center for all her major productions and
will have programs in the spring. So
please come out and support your neighbors, large and small.
