Haleigh Brooks began dancing when she was 19 months old. Throughout her dancing career, she has danced many genres of dance including ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop, lyrical, contemporary, modern, jazz funk, acrobatics, commercial dance, and musical theater. She danced competitively at nationally award-winning studios. She attended numerous master classes in various cities across the East Coast and cannot wait to share those experiences with her dancers. Her love for teaching dance began as a dance minor and Vice-President of the Dance Ensemble at the University of Saint Joseph in 2021. In 2022, she became the President of the Dance Ensemble. As President, she choreographed and produced USJ's 90th Anniversary Spring Show in 2023. In addition to choreography, she taught technique classes including ballet, stretch and conditioning, and acrobatics. She then went on to found USJ's first Dance Team in the Summer of 2023. As the founder and President of the Dance Team, she developed the constitution and purpose statement for the club. She still stands by that purpose statement when it comes to teaching dance, "to bring spirit and joy to the community." As President of the USJ Dance Team, she organized events and performances, choreographed, and taught technique classes. The USJ Dance Team performed at numerous half-times during sporting events including lacrosse, soccer, and basketball. She even produced another successful spring show for the USJ Dance Team in 2024. Haleigh passed the USJ Dance torch down when she graduated from the University of Saint Joseph in 2024 with a dual degree in Special Education and English with a minor in Dance. Through her years of dance, she fell in love with teaching dance and watching others succeed. She is incredibly honored to have the opportunity to continue teaching dance post-college graduation. She cannot wait to watch your students succeed!
