Leyah is a 7th grader at Lorca Elementary School and is thrilled to be in her 5th year with Extensions Dance Company. She has been dancing since she was 3 years old and joined Extensions when she was 4. Leyah loves dancing with her best friends every day and deeply appreciates all of her dance teachers. In her free time, she enjoys reading, writing stories, and hanging out with friends.

She’s excited to compete in this season’s competitions and can’t wait to see what’s ahead for her and her dance family. Extensions has become a second home for Leyah, and she is incredibly grateful for her mentors—Lizzie MacKenzie, Jackie Nowicki—and the entire amazing Extensions faculty. Leyah considers her mentors and teammates family and knows she wouldn’t be the dancer she is today without them. She’s so excited for the 2024–2025 season!
