Leslie L
Leslie took her first Pure Barre class in 2019 and it was love at first tuck! Leslie has always made movement and activity a priority in her life. Before joining the Pure Barre team at Pure Barre Newport News, she was a professional contemporary ballet and modern dancer, as well as dance teacher and choreographer. Originally from Erie, PA, Leslie moved to Virginia to continue her second career as a Doctor of Physical Therapy. With an extensive background in dance, yoga, psychology, and physical therapy, Leslie is passionate in her belief that movement is medicine and essential for total mind and body wellness. In Pure Barre, Leslie found the perfect combination of strength/endurance exercise, active flexibility, mind-body connection training, and movement meditation! Pure Barre has become an essential part of her life for maintaining her fitness level, managing stress, preventing injury, and challenging herself while also being immersed in a positive and supportive environment. Leslie is excited to share her passion for Pure Barre at the next level as an instructor.
