Leslie spent nine years touring and dancing professionally with Ballet Magnificat, sharing the Gospel through dance across the U.S., Europe, Canada, Israel, and Africa. She performed in concert halls, opera houses, schools, and public venues, and regularly taught ballet, pointe, and choreography at Ballet Magnificat's Summer Dance Intensive and ballet schools nationwide.

After retiring from full-time touring, Leslie relocated to the Atlanta area, teaching primarily at Perimeter Ballet.

Now a resident of Auburn, an active member of First Baptist Opelika, and a Missional Community Host, she continues to guest-teach, perform, and model, while also working at Bright Beginnings Preschool.

As the owner, artistic director, and CEO of AO Ballet, LLC, Leslie loves helping young dancers develop technical excellence and reach their full artistic potential . . . while sharing "Ballet, Love, and Smiles for Auburn and Opelika."
