About Me

I am 25 years old, I danced professionally with the California Ballet for 7 years. Last year had my own dance company at Academy of Performing Arts and I am going to continue this season with a new crop of dancers. I am a teacher to children and adults at various studios in San Diego and I love every minute of it. I am also a competition judge, flying out to various cities to see amazing talent across the states. I love to choreograph and teach dance. I still train, even though I retired from performing(ballet, modern, jazz, and hip hop) I love DANCE, its what I live for. If you wanna see more of my dancing you can check out my YouTube, I am leodancer82. I know I am a genuine person, I try to be honest with others, and I try to mean well. I love hugs, most likely if I see you I will give you one. I am trying to figure out this thing called love, so if you have the answer please let me know!
