I have just returned home from the most wonderful evening of dancing with Lesley Laslett and feel compelled to let you know what an absolute joy it is to dance with her. Everyone else who was fortunate enough to dance with her this evening was echoing the same sentiment, and l think we all at left Riverdale Hall on cloud nine.
My desire is that many of you as possible are able to take advantage of the amazing opportunity to dance with Lesley this weekend while she is still in Canada.
Some of you may not know that in addition to being an extremely good clear and approachable dance teacher, as well as an absolutely beautiful dancer, Lesley also choreographs almost all her dances that she teaches, and does so brilliantly. She has a true gift for selecting glorious music and then composing dances that fit it perfectly as though they were designed for each other. These dances range from gentle, graceful ones to ones which are lively and a great deal of fun, and from very simple ones to ones which are a little more complex. The music ranges from traditional and contemporary music from various countries, especially Greece, to music by Canadian artists such as Loreena McKennit and even Leonard Cohen. There truly is something for everyone.
Again, there are not enough superlatives to describe what a complete and utter delight it is to dance with Lesley, and I urge you to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to do so and experience the joy yourself.

"Of the many people who love to choreograph I rate Lesley among the world's very top -- for dances that are irresistible, original and varied and fit the music like a glove. One of her gifts is for finding delectable contemporary Greek music and creating accessible dances.Lesley is a longstanding and popular circle dance teacher. Her likeable presence, elegance, and clarity of movement are a sheer delight to all who dance with her. Some of her dances are meditative/spiritual, others strong, mystical, or playful. Absolutely not to be missed"
