Born in Indianapolis and raised in Crawfordsville, Leanna has spent her whole life in Indiana.
But dancing gave her the opportunity to travel and see other places.
“I started dancing at the age of two, I was like two and a half. As soon as I could walk, really,” she says. “I started out at a dance studio, danced competitively for them and then went on to dance for my middle school and high school dance teams, danced competitively there also and competed at state and nationals and won many titles with them.”
While she was in high school, she also danced for the Indiana Fever.
