Leah is an improviser and dance adventurer who has been dancing since she had someone to dance with. She fell in love with partner dancing over over a decade ago dancing to salsa, tango, swing, and blues music. Her movement story is enriched early on by gymnastics and acrobatics, later on by contemporary dance and solo improvisation practices, and most recently by street and club styles, especially waacking. She works, plays, and dreams with her dance family to develop a role-fluid, consent-focused, social justice-informed dance practice.
Leah believes social dance can fundamentally change our relationship to touch, to music, and to each other. As an instructor, whether in one-on-on or group settings, she specializes in classes that are all-levels and exploratory, drawing out each dancer’s unique connection to their body and to the music.
