Heather Bornfeld (she/her)
Heather felt sheer exuberance when she took her 1st dance class at age 4. While as young adult and aspiring musical theatre performer she trained in ballet, jazz, tap and musical theatre dance, but the fear of not being "good enough" plagued her experiences in the studio. She rediscovered her true joy in movement while taking Rhythm & Motion, Latin Dance Grooves, and Afro-Brazilian classes. Watching her own children move their bodies through the world with abandon inspired her to become and R&M Teacher in 2015. Teaching Rhythm & Motion is the perfect companion to her other work as a trauma-informed clinical psychologist. She believes that integrated movement like dance are powerful practices of personal and collective healing.
