Leanne started dancing at the age of 3. She started her training at Joyce Mason School of Dance and is also a former pupil of the Wendy Foster Theatre School where she studied to a high level in Ballet, Modern, Tap and Jazz. Throughout the years she has had many opportunities to perform and dance around the country, this includes taking part in local professional pantomimes, local and national dance festivals and represent our local area in dance conventions. Chosen to dance with the National Youth Ballet where she performed at Sadlers Wells Theatre in London, Leanne also had the opportunity to participate in the ‘Changing of the Guard ‘at Buckingham Palace. She was one of the selected girls to receive a York Ballet Scholarship and attended these classes every weekend for 2 years. When Leanne turned 16 she was given a three year scholarship to attend the Northern Ballet School in Manchester. Over the last 10 years since leaving college Leanne has been furthering her teaching qualifications in Halifax and now has five years teaching experience . Dancing is Leanne’s passion and it has always been her long life dream to open her own dance school. Dreams have now become a reality and so the “Leanne Charlton School of Dance” is born. Leanne’s intention is for children to experience the joy and happiness that dancing brought to her.
