Leah Patterson

Leah Patterson has been dancing salsa professionally for over 12 years. In that time, she has become internationally recognized for her smooth and sensual styling and dynamic stage presence. She’s performed and taught all across the world. As a principal dancer of the well-known dance co. Descarga Caribe for many years, she shared her charisma and love for dancing with salsa enthusiasts in China, England, Spain, Italy, Canada, California, Washington DC, Texas, Chicago, and countless other places.
Her style of dance has often been described as sophisticated, sharp, precise, imaginative, and even spiritual. 
Leah has been privileged to choreograph and perform with many amazing dancers such as Sekou McMiller (Chicago), Darlin Garcia (Philadelphia), Del Dominguez (Chicago), Will Pagan (North Carolina), Betto Herrera (North Carolina), and Amanda Cardona (Austin/New York). She also began North Carolina's first all-female dance team, Femme Finesse and expanded that team to include two additional chapters in South Africa and Arkansas. Currently, she teaches in Little Rock, AR and is the founder of Leah's School of Latin Dance. Through LSLD, Leah directs various amateur and semi-professional dance teams and teaches beginner to advanced dancers. Dance is her greatest passion and she thoroughly enjoys spreading this love through continuing to teach and perform wherever it takes her.
