Lesia (pronounced Lesha) has had a love of dancing from a very young age.   Her father played the accordion and both her mother and father sang in a choir, so it was inevitable that dance would follow on. For many years she trained in Modern Jive, Latin American, Rock & Roll and Ballroom Dancing.

Wishing to expand her knowledge in different dance styles, Lesia discovered the exotic art of Middle Eastern dance in 2001. She was entranced by the powerful dance movements, making a woman feel sensual, confident and beautiful.

Continuing on this dance journey, Lesia attended private lessons and interstate workshops from well respected National and International dance teachers.   This led her to discover Keti Sharif's A-Z flowing dance sequences and subsequently Keti's ingenious concept of PULSE8 which captures Bellydance into its Programs.

Lesia's passion for dancing is reflected in her unique ability to communicate dance to women by bringing enthusiasm and lots of smiles into her classes. To enhance her teaching skills Lesia has completed a Teachers Training Professional Development course. She has a particular interest in teaching mature women giving them confidence to have fun with dance in a positive and safe environment.
