northern heights dance & aerial

A little bit about LEAH…

What’s your favourite thing about Northern Heights?

My favourite thing about northern heights is the fun, enthusiastic and welcoming atmosphere! Everyone works as a team and it’s like one big happy family. Seeing people grow with confidence and with skills is very rewarding!

WHATS YOUR FAVOURITE CLASS TO TEACH AT NORTHERN HEIGHTS?

My favourite class to teach is difficult to decide! Acro is always fun seeing everyone in the class learn to do forward rolls, cartwheels, handstands and so much more.

Let us know a random fact about you?

A random fact about me; I can do all 3 splits 

let us know your professional performance & teaching experience?

I started dance when I was 3 years old and as I got older I continued my training at ‘Royal Ballet Associates’ in Newcastle at the age of 10. I then went on to further training at ‘Northern Ballet Academy’ from the age of 11 and stayed with the academy for 3 years! Later I went to the ‘Hammond School’ and completed my diploma in dance!

how did you join the northern heights team?

I joined NH team after taking classes there myself. Learning something new was fun and aerial was different to what I had done before but it was also linked to dance which made it more interesting to me.

Georgi offered me an opportunity to teach and there was no chance I would ever say no, I couldn’t pass such a great opportunity. I love teaching and I’m so glad I am able to do what I love!
