Miss LeeAnn has been around the world in her private and professional life, and she has seen so much! Just ask her for some stories about dancing in China or living in South Africa. She started dancing when she was 3 years old, inspired by her aunt who was a professional dancer in South Africa. Miss LeeAnn remembers her first "broadway" show - Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat - where she watched her aunt perform. LeeAnn says, "I was sold! I wanted to dance!"
She started teaching dance because of her passion for giving children a proper dance education. She believes it is very important for teachers to be qualified in their field. Currently, LeeAnn teaches ballet, tap, and jazz here at Ballet Petite and has some of our youngest and oldest ballerinas as students! Her new teen jazz class has been a big hit with girls over twelve and her add on tap classes get those four year olds onto their toes a-tappin'! Her favorite part of class is the fairy kisses, and on any given day you can hear LeeAnn say: "I love my job!"
In addition to being one of our teachers, Miss LeeAnn is a Redskins cheerleader. She says it helps her keep in shape and lets her perform for audiences of over 96,000 every week! Wow!
I hope you can take one of her classes, because Miss LeeAnn is amazing!
Happy Dancing!
