Heather Brown- Owner & Artistic Director
Heather Brown was born and raised in Jacksonville, N.C. and moved to Wilmington in 1998. She is married to Brad and they have three children: Parker, Cooper, and Tatum. Heather has been dancing since the age of three. Throughout her career, she has studied tap, jazz, ballet, contemporary, lyrical, pointe and clogging. With a wide-range of experience, she has been able to successfully compete up and down the east coast for over 20 years, both as a student and a teacher. Heather has taken master classes with professional choreographers including Gene Medler (Founder of the North Carolina Youth Tap Ensemble), Dianne Walker and Brenda Buffalino. While she appreciates EVERY form of dance, her passions lie with rhythm tap and the joy she receives watching young ones grasp the art for the first time. Her awards range from Platinum to Special Choreography to Creativity and all points in between. Past choreography has been featured at the Alabama Theatre in Myrtle Beach, S.C. and on the stage at Walt Disney World. Heather is the owner/artistic director of Burgaw Dance Center and Gymnastics in Burgaw, NC.

My name is Olivia and I have coached gymnastic at Burgaw Dance Center since 2016. Prior to working at BDC I took tumbling and gymnastics for five years. During those five years, I was a student at the Dance Element for acro, Gymnastics Unlimited for gymnastics, and Cheer Infinity for tumbling. In addition to working at the studio, I also work as an assistant Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor for kid’s classes at Lion’s Crest Martial Arts. Teaching gymnastics at Burgaw Dance Center is a great joy as well as watching kids develop in their talents and skills.

Hi, my name is Susan Porter. I am a homeschooling mom of two sweet and beautiful girls named Ella and Katy. I have been with BDC & G since their doors opened back in August of 2014. I am currently attending Cape Fear Community College working towards my accounting degree. I have a love for the ocean and all that is in it. I have spent many years in the marine biology field and have taken many trips out on the ocean. I love to go diving and find such beauty in all things the ocean has to give us. I enjoy being a part of the studio and watching all that God is doing in the lives of the students, parents, and teachers
