Heather is a 30-year-old dancer, model, actress and singer who currently resides in Los Angeles, CA. She is best known for her comedic role as Brittany Pierce on Fox's hit series Glee.
While clearly uber-talented and experienced in dance, Heather has struggled to receive very high scores from the Dancing with the Stars judges, who initially set high standards for her and therefore tend to be critical of her ballroom performances. Heather, however, has an excellent shot to make it to the finals.
Heather will resume dancing with Maksim now that he has recovered from a leg injury that happened in the second week of the ABC reality dancing competition. DWTS Troupe member Alan Bersten had been filling in for Maksim. Want to learn more about Heather?
