In a 21st century dance climate where artist equals entrepreneur - embracing, encouraging and practicing versatility and diversity is radical and essential. Embodying that combination in Dance and in life has contributed to Leslie Frye Maietta’s successful performing career in both Concert and Commercial Dance spaces on an international to local scale. A Mother, a Mover and a Maker, Leslie’s current creative work has been presented from Berlin to Boston and her teaching experience continues to be equally as distinct. Earning her BFA from The University of the Arts and her MFA from Hollins University | The American Dance festival, has kept Leslie’s network wide and inclusive. The comprehensive and rich training she has received over the years takes root in her creative work and drives her teaching approach.
