Performance

Leslie Miller is incredibly passionate about dance and is known for her versatility. Where most dancers focus on one style of dance, Leslie is hungry to perform and explore as many different avenues of dance as possible and the result is an incredibly diverse career. Highlights from her career include being a Radio City Rockette, originating the role of Scheherazade in American Ballet Theatre’s Sleeping Beauty and being a founding member of the world-renowned Complexions Contemporary Ballet. She earned her AEA Actors equity card performing in musicals such as Funny Girl, Spamalot, The Addams Family Musical and The Producers and her SAG eligibility dancing and acting in the feature film “Puppet.” Her dancing has taken her around the world staring in musical reviews in Monte-Carlo, Tokyo, and Las Vegas. She even found herself on the cover of NY Times fashion section modeling and dancing for the late American couturier Geoffrey Beene. Leslie fluidly moves through techniques such as Ballet, Jazz (Fosse, Cole, Luigi), Contemporary, hip-hop. Tap, modern, Latin Jazz, African, afro-Cuban and Javanese. She has also been studying the ballroom styles of Swing, Salsa, Tango, Waltz and Foxtrot. Leslie is thrilled to share her passion for dance with her audiences.
