✨ MEET OUR NEW OUTREACH & ENGAGEMENT OFFICER — LEAH! ✨

We’re so excited to officially welcome Leah into her new role as our Outreach & Engagement Officer! 💛

Now, Leah might be a new face in a new role… but she is certainly NOT new to DAZL! 🕺

Leah has been part of the DAZL family since 2013, joining us as a student and spending years dancing, learning, growing and developing along the way. From finding her feet on the dance floor to becoming the incredible dancer we know today, we’ve had the absolute pleasure of watching her journey unfold. ❤️

And Leah’s passion for dance has taken her even further! Alongside continuing to attend her DAZL - Dance & Health Charity dance sessions, she has also trained at Learning & Participation at Northern School of Contemporary Dance , Phoenix Dance Theatre Youth. For professional training she attended Renaissance Arts Conservatories where she studied professional dance and musical theatre✨

Now it’s her turn to step into the spotlight and show us what she can really do! 🔥

As our Outreach & Engagement Officer, Leah will be getting stuck into lots of different parts of DAZL life. She’ll be working across our community sessions, supporting our competition teams and delivering dance opportunities in schools, helping to bring the joy, energy and creativity of dance to even more young people. 🏫💃✨

You may already know Leah for her AMAZING moves… but have you actually seen what she can do?! 👀

Qualified Teacher with the IDTA International Dance Teachers Association part of the Freestyle Facility

She’s bubbly, kind, caring and full of life — a real firecracker with a heart of gold. 💥❤️ We know she’s going to bring so much positivity, passion and fun to her new role, and we couldn’t be more excited to have her on the team!

From DAZL student to DAZL team member… this is Leah’s time to shine! ✨

Welcome to the team, Leah! We can’t wait to see everything you bring to this next chapter. 💛
