Leyah is thrilled to be entering her 7th year with Extensions Dance Company. She began dancing at just 3 years old and joined Extensions at age 4. Over the years, dance has become a huge part of her life, and she especially loves contemporary, where she can express herself through movement. She enjoys training and growing alongside her best friends each day.
Outside of dance, Leyah loves reading, writing stories, and spending time with friends. Leyah is excited to compete this season and is looking forward to all that’s ahead. Extensions has truly become a second home for her, and she is incredibly grateful for her mentors, Lizzie MacKenzie and Jackie Nowicki, along with the entire Extensions faculty, for their continued guidance and support.
She feels lucky to be surrounded by such an encouraging team and knows they’ve helped shape her into the dancer and strong leader she is today. Leyah is excited and ready for the 2025–2026 season!
