Phyllis Mouton
Owner, Teacher, and Ballet Coordinator

Phyllis is part owner of The Studio for the Performing Arts, Inc. and has been an active participant with the SPA Ballet Company Ballets
since 2006. Phyllis sees her role in the Ballet Productions as coordinating for all of the artistic team and assisting them in accomplishing their goals and ideas. This can be as simple as taking over a rehearsal, shopping for specific materials for props, organization of paperwork, and setting up advertisements, communicating changes or deadlines. Phyllis’s primary goal for the productions is to provide a venue that fosters for the participants of the ballet a memory that they can remember in years from now, as fond yet rewarding experience, a performance that the children in the audience will always remember and adults are glad they came and will want to return. Phyllis feels that it is truly collaborative effort by all artists involved and she is honored to work with such a talented Team.

In the fall of 2006, Heather became the Artistic Director of the newly founded Studio for the Performing Arts Ballet Company. Having begun her training at the age of five, it was not long before Heather realized her true love for ballet. Heather’s extensive classical ballet training coupled with the desire to educate others has brought her to the remarkable place she is today. As a teacher, Heather’s intent is to provide an enriching atmosphere in which her students feel free to be creative and express themselves through positive reinforcement and encouragement. Providing a high-quality program is paramount to Heather so her students can develop artistically, physically, emotionally and intellectually. “I
dance, teach and choreograph with the purpose to boost my students’ self-esteem and to assist at every opportunity the development of their imaginations.” Heather is fueled by Christ and the love and support from her 3rd-grade pen pal, now husband, Jared, and their four children Isaiah, Sedessa, Leah, and Simon.
