With over 20 years of experience as a professional dancer, choreographer, stunt actor, and performer, Leah is bringing her skills to Metro Arts hosting a B-GIRL 101 dance class as part of DANCE24.
HOW DID YOU DISCOVER YOUR LOVE FOR DANCE?
Leah Clark (LC): I was a late bloomer and started dancing at 18 years old after seeing some B-boys onstage at a concert. I went on a mission to learn about Breaking and now, 24 years later, I am still learning and creating and still love dance as much as I did when I started.
WHAT CAN PARTICIPANTS EXPECT FROM THE WORKSHOP/CLASS?
LC: The basics of Breaking! Fundamental top-rocks & grooves get downs, footwork, and basic freezes along with simple freestyle & creative techniques.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF AS A PERFORMER/CREATIVE?
LC: A perfectionist…which has its pros and cons. I find that I enjoy structure and clear goals or outcomes, But I also love being experimental and trying new concepts
WHO IS YOUR BIGGEST INSPIRATION AND WHY?
LC: I don’t have just one person to list, but I am drawn to and love strong female leaders, I’m blessed to be surrounded by women who have created incredible ventures, worked extremely hard, and delivered amazing work & projects. I love watching people achieve their dreams.
WHAT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED FOR AS PART OF DANCE24?
LC: I’m super excited to teach my workshop and be part of the program itself, it looks awesome! and I can’t wait to see the new shows presenting.
Leah’s B-GIRL 101 dance class is presented as part of DANCE24 FESTIVAL.
