MEET THE DIRECTORS!

HALEY HECKETHORN
Director of Development + Company Mentor

Haley Heckethorn, originally from Las Vegas, Nevada, started her dance journey at Bunker Dance Center. After graduating from Las Vegas Academy she continued her professional dance training at Arts Umbrella under the direction of Artemis Gordon. There, she earned the Emerging Artist Scholarship from the RBC Canada Council, participated in the Young Choreographers Program with Crystal Pite, and performed works by Sharon Eyal, William Forsythe, Hofesh Shechter, and Nacho Duato. Haley has attended workshops such as Netherlands Dans Theater, Batsheva’s Gaga Workshop, Springboard Danse Montreal, San Francisco Conservatory and The Banff Centre for the Arts. After working and apprenticing with Kidd Pivot for two seasons she went on to dance professionally with BodyTraffic for three seasons, and freelanced with companies including Chuthis, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, LA Dance Project residency , Ballet BC, Ballare Carmel, Elemental Dance company, and Alejandro Cerrudo. Named a cultural ambassador by the Obama Administration, she toured and taught in Algiers, Algeria. In 2019, she co-founded HD Theatre, a contemporary company based in Southern California. She is currently the Development director and dancer in a Las Vegas Contemporary Dance company called Bateman Dance Theater. For over a decade, Haley has taught, choreographed, and led workshops—her choreography earning two students the YoungArts Award. She recently launched a mentorship program for dancers pursuing post-secondary training and well as managing other dance artist careers. She remains dedicated to sharing the transformative power of dance in all forms.
