Contact Leyla about private lessons

Email Me!

I’m the founder of Dance du Soleil, and Dance, Move, Stretch with Leyla. I’ve been teaching dance and fitness classes for over 20 years! Teaching private lessons has always been a large part of my business. To say I love collaborating and connecting one-on-one with other dancers would be an understatement. There’s nothing like watching someone step into their power!

As an INFP, my strengths lie in my ability to empathize and service others. As an INFP who can mask as an ENFP (I know. I’m complicated ha!), I am an excellent communicator and team player. 

I love seeing my students achieve their dreams, whether that means winning a dance competition, making the transition from student to instructor, or attaining their personal fitness goals. Many of my previous students have gone on to become professional dancers over the years.

The other side of me is a hopeless romantic creator. I love art of all kinds and am an avid illustrator, and an aspiring UX designer. This certainly explains my deep love and passion for creating belly dance and fusion dance performance pieces, deep diving into not just technique and choreography, but taking it a step further to create a character and set the scene.
