How do I even begin to put myself into words without sounding like an incoherent mess of ideas with a smart ass remark added in? My name in Leigh, I'm originally from Northern Ireland but left at 11 to train at The Royal Ballet School until I graduated in 2006. I grew up in front of the camera, the BBC charted my training and career with 3 feature length documentaries which was fun. My career has taken me all over performing with different ballet companies and now it takes me to Canada where I'm about to begin dancing with Les Grands Ballets in Montreal. I'm fiercely loyal, stubbornly opinionated, somewhat limelight hogging, abrasive yet insecure, everything you would expect from an artist! But hell, I'm a lot of fun. I have a fetish for meeting people, I just love it. There are so many incredible people in the world and I have to be a little obnoxious and say , with certainty , that the MOST incredible ones seem to end up in my path and stay in my life. A thing that I'm eternally grateful for.
I love to meet people because I constantly want to learn , achieve and strive to be a better person. I believe there is a God, but I'm not exactly religious, definately more spiritual , it's not got any exact criteria , it's my own thing, elements from different beliefs that I choose to uphold. I make mistakes, I take wrong turns, I do learn though. When I'm not touring the world dancing or performing on stage , for fun, I kind of fiddle about and compose slightly electronic , disco inspired tracks. With one album on iTunes already called 'Curly Disco' and another one released soon 'BOY'. They mean a lot because I try and express myself in anyway I can, so there is Leigh in everything I do, also all the proceeds of the albums are going to be used to raise money for organisations that help people dealing with depression or for people left behind after suicide. I lost my fiancé last year and it tore me apart. I'm still dealing with it day by day. So I try and do good when and where I can, it may not be much or executed correctly all the time , but my heart is honestly in the right place. Like I said , I love meeting people and making new interesting friends, any questions , please don't hesitate to ask! Also check out my Facebook and Twitter. Leigh x
