Leah was originally born and raised a Midwest girl, but she has lived and studied movement from coast to coast. She received a BA in Business and economics from Westmont College in Santa Barbara, but spent all of her free time in the dance studio. After college Leah moved back to the Midwest to dance professionally in Chicago. She joined an aerial dance company and quickly fell in love with defying gravity. Leah moved to Vermont for 9 months to attend Circus School, studying all things air based, balancing on hands, bending in half and a bit of juggling. She and her husband recently moved back to Chicago so Leah could join Aloft Circus Arts, a Chicago based circus company. Leah was introduced to the Dailey Method while living in Santa Barbara. Not only was it an amazing workout, The Dailey Method was exactly what she needed to balance all her circus training. She found, much like the Chicago studios, the Santa Barbara instructors, staff and owner were so welcoming and friendly that she knew she wanted to be more involved. Leah was trained as an instructor in Santa Barbara but moved to Chicago shortly after. She is so happy and excited to be one of the new instructors at Dailey Method Chicago and to share her experience and knowledge with clients.
