Testimonials
"My daughter started tumbling with Leslie when she was only 5 years old. She immediately loved it and progressed so quickly. Leslie gave her so much confidence and always made sure they were practicing safely and focusing on technique. The recitals Leslie put together were absolutely amazing...Several years later, and we have yet to find a program that compares. I highly recommend Leslie Durand for her dance and tumble programs!" --Carrie Crain, Holly Springs

"My daughter started ballet with Leslie when she was three and is still dancing at age 11. Leslie's talent, patience and skill in teaching small children the discipline and joy of dance is unparalled. The photos, videos, and memories of her recitals are absolute treasures." --Melanie Graham Mullinix, Former parent of 12 Oaks student
"Ms. Leslie was a fantastic dance teacher. She built up not only my dance skills, but my confidence. I remember once I was telling her how I was afraid to do a tumbling move, and she smiled and said that she had already seen me do it before. That reassurance led me to try harder than I ever had, and it paid off. Ms. Leslie also taught me a great amount about resilience. Each time I stumbled during a pirouette, she told me to just keep smiling. To this day, I still remember to smile during the hardest times inmy life. Ms. Leslie's positive disposition and her wonderful teaching skills were a true blessing to my life." --Juliana Guirguis, former student
