Leslie Anderson is a graduate of the University of Northern Iowa, where she received her Bachelor's in Political Science, minor in Dance, and certificate of Personal Training. In college she was a member of the dance team and Orchesis Dance Company. While in college, she began teaching dance for children and adults and had the opportunity to choreograph high school musicals.

 

Leslie taught ballet, tap, jazz, modern, and hip hop in Iowa for over 10 years. She instructed and choreographed for several studio competition groups. She also taught fitness classes and reformer Pilates at a corporate fitness center. She is thankful for her Pilates and kinesiology training that she implements in her classes to help her students move safely.

 

Since moving to Texas, Leslie has volunteered at a gospel-centered ministry she absolutely loves, For the Nations Refugee Outreach. She has the joy and honor of teaching ballet and jazz to school-aged children there. Leslie strives to honor God in all she does, including being a wife and a homeschool mom of four. She is excited for the opportunity to point her Sonshine students to Christ through movement and song.
