      When Catherine first started going to Ninth Street Dance you were one of her first teachers. All the little girls in her class were completely enchanted. The mothers would sit in the waiting room discussing exactly what type of spells you were casting on our daughters to make them love you so. Then last quarter I decided to start taking class, and who should be my teacher but Ms. ShaLeigh. After the first class, I understood the enchantment. When you start dancing it is captivating. I often find myself unable to remember a routine because I was so caught up watching your demonstration that I forgot to pay attention to the steps. You have brought so much happiness to our home through dance that I am thrilled to be able to give a little something back. Best wishes to you on this adventure!

      hey Shaleigh, an Indian dancer of Bharat Natyam did a fundraiser for (my organization) a few years back, and I learned that Indians consider it VERY GOOD LUCK to donate with an odd single dollar at end of donation- thus our donation. love Betsy Tom and Janie

Has not connected their Facebook account.

ShaLeigh is a dancer, educator, choreographer and photographer. She has never encountered a person who could not dance, so she wants to dance with everyone. She will probably make dances about this. And take some pictures along the way.
