My name is Carly Vanderheyden. I am a professional contemporary dancer, dance and lifestyle photographer, digital content designer, arts marketer, and dance and movement instructor.

Since graduating from The University of Iowa in Spring 2017 with a B.F.A. in Dance: Pedagogy, B.A. in Health and Human Physiology: Health Promotion, and Certificate in Arts Entrepreneurship, I have creatively curated a life surrounded by the arts, dance, and dance education.

I can most often be found with an iced vanilla oat milk latte in hand while racing from one thing to the next. I have always loved the thrill of staying busy and working under pressure. My secret superpower is predicting how my skills, talents, and experiences can best serve individuals and organizations, whatever their needs may be.

I have a passion for making the world a more thoughtfully art-filled place.
