Heather Morris Biography

Heather Morris began dancing when she was one. Morris competed at a young age in a variety of styles including jazz tap and contemporary. Morris's father died when she was 14 years old. It's something that is hard for me because I'm sad about it but I don't dwell on it she said during an interview workshop with students in December 2009. I know he's in a better place instead of suffering. After graduating from Desert Mountain High School Morris decided to enroll in a local university in Arizona but she realized she was in the wrong place so she moved to L.A. instead at age 19.
Morris' first significant appearance was in 2006 on So You Think You Can Dance Season 2 where she made the green mile but failed to make the final 20 by a vote of 3-2.
Not discouraged Morris actively pursued a career in dancing. Her big break came in 2007 via Beyonce. Morris was one of Beyonce's backup dancers on The Beyonce Experience world tour and following that worked again with Beyonce on a mini Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) promotional tour that included 2008 performances on the American Music Awards Saturday Night Live The Ellen DeGeneres Show Today and MTV's Total Request Live Finale. She also danced backup for Beyonce and Tina Turner at the 50th Grammy Awards in 2008. She later appeared in a small role in the movie Fired Up where she met choreographer Zach Woodlee. Following that film Woodlee brought Morris in to dance on other shows he was choreographing including episodes of Eli Stone and Swingtown the movie Bedtime Stories and eventually Glee.
