About

MISSION

"I believe in merging the wild with the formal. The wild is your inborn potential before labels, limits and fears. The formal is disciplined, technical training. When the two are fused, a singular greatness is born."

- Suzana Stankovic,

dance-theatre artist; dance educator; owner, WHPAS

Wild Heart Performing Arts Studio is a boutique studio founded by dance-theatre artist and dance educator Suzana Stankovic in 2017 as a home for her signature method of transformative, world-class dance training, live performance, and artist empowerment.

Drenched in sunlight and positive energy, Wild Heart Performing Arts Studio celebrates the wild potential within each of us as dancers, artists and human beings.

 

Wild Heart was born of a pioneering spirit and unwavering integrity. Each class is a master class in blooming wildly

STAY WILD.

Our studio is a peaceful and sun-lit space on  Steinway St. between Broadway and 34th Ave. (closer to Broadway) in the heart of Astoria, Queens. 

We're just 3 stops from Manhattan right by the Steinway St. station on the R/M subway line.
 
Our neighbors include The Frank Sinatra High School of the Performing Arts, Queens Council on the Arts, Kaufman Astoria Studios and the Museum of the Moving Image as well as MOMA PS 1, one of the oldest and largest contemporary art institutions in the United States.
 
It is our joy to contribute to the lively Astoria-L.I.C. arts scene!

Look for the big, blue 'Ferrari Driving School'- we're in that building on the third floor. Note, there is no elevator. Your workout starts at the bottom of the stairs ;-)
