Biography
Leigh is a Director of Empire Swing. She started dancing when she was 4 years old and is in a constant battle with her parents over who should have to look after the trophies. After 10 years of Physical Culture, 2 years of Jazz, then a couple of years of Funk, life got in the way and dancing took a backseat. She then started swing dancing in March 2007 after a lazy weekend listening to Michael Buble and trying to learn 30’s Charleston (and completely failing at it). Quickly a vague interest in Swing turned into a mass obsession with Leigh starting Balboa and joining the Demo Troupe later that same year. At the start of 2011, Leigh has taken on the role of running the Empire Swing Demo Troupe.
