Who are LEAP Students?
LEAP students are current and former professional dancers from across the country with performance credits including major ballet and modern companies, Broadway and national tours, film and television, and various cultural forms.
LEAP students are working professionals in a variety of fields. They are parents and caregivers. They are ready for the intellectual challenge of a college education.
LEAP Students live, dance, and work all over the country, accessing our classes through Zoom and studying wherever is most convenient to them!
