Class Descriptions
Leslie's choreography is an organic hybrid of various traditions: drawing on movement from Modern, Jazz, and Lyrical dance, he seamlessly blends them with street and club trends to capture the multifaceted characteristics of Hip-Hop and distills them into his own inimitable style.
Known for his unflagging intensity in class, Leslie's teaching is informed by his Dewbee Jammin' philosophy, which he describes as “the force that kicks in when you have no energy—when the body shuts down, your Dewbee kicks in and you do everything with bold energy." Most importantly, however, he believes that having fun in class is paramount: "It doesn't work if you don't smile!"
