Leslie Garcia - Urban Dance Specialist
Specialist in Hip Hop, Jazz Funk, Street, Stylistic and Contemporary Jazz.
Welcome to my website!!
Hey everyone. I am constantly being asked questions from where am I teaching tonight, to what are my prices, and how to get in contact with me. So I finally decided to kick it in gear and make a site with everything you need to know straight from me aside from
www.lesliegarcia.com (Thanks Jenn for all your work on that site
www.jenproject.com ). So here you are everyone. Please don't ever hesitate to contact me with questions or anything else that you may need or discuss. If there is something that I don't have in here, please let me know so I can add it.
I will update this site everyday as things change or get added to my schedule and I'm still trying to fine tune it and add things as I think of them. So check back frequently to stay updated.
For those of you who don't know me yet, thank you for checking out my site. I hope to meet you soon. Let me know what I can do for you.

Testimonials
"Leslie Garcia is one of the most amazing choreographers I have gotten the chance to work with. I had the pleasure of dancing with her at the age 12 and have been hooked ever since. Other than a few workshops I have been to, I refuse to take class from anyone else. She taught me the foundation for everything I know now and when I do take class from her I ALWAYS learn something new. She choreographed my competition solos all through high school and they placed every year at camp. She loves what she does just as much as her students and it shows when she dances. She's a powerful dancer and choreographer and it's an honor to learn from her. Leslie makes you want to dance from the heart and brings out the best in her dancers and will push you for greatness. She's awesome and I LOVE HER!"

"When anyone in Austin,TX hears the name Leslie Garcia, ears perk and dancers anticipate her arrival. With the inspiration and help of this amazing woman, I have had the opportunity to dance with and run Texas States Hip Hop Dance Company and Step Team (Harambee Dance Group Inc.), begin teaching at Cedar Park Dance Company, and become a member of an all girl break dancing crew called the Born Ready Rockers.
I met Leslie almost three years ago from fellow dancers, preparing for a possible show. The instant I met her I fell in love with her style, personality, and energy she brought to the group. I, to this day, have not found anyone in Austin who’s choreography exceeds the talent Leslie brings to a group of dancers. I participated in her September Shakedown master class, and frequently her street jazz and hip hop classes at Dancers Workshop when I had the time. She is one of the few choreographers that really challenges her students and forces them to work hard. Beyond her choreographic and teaching experience, Leslie is an inspiring individual to those lucky enough to get to know her. I can’t say that she is my best friend, but I have spent time lost in conversation with her and had honor of her watching one of the classes I instruct. She provided me with confidence in my teaching style and critiqued me with advice on how to really reach out to my students. Leslie Garcia has not only inspired me to become a better teacher and dancer, but a better person. She is a motivational instructor and an exceptional mentor to those with the opportunity to have her as a part of their life."

"Working with Leslie has truly been an blessing. She puts her heart and soul into everything she does 100%. And she refuses to take any less than that from her students! She will work you to the bone to unveil your true abilities- and all because she cares. Her choreography gives a perfect blend of old school and new. Music- always on point! She really keeps the mood/energy level high!! Thank you Leslie for sharing your God given talents with the world!"

"I would like to express how awesome Atomic Dance Factory (no longer open),and its instructors are. If you are looking for the very best, look no further than here. They will teach the best of dance to individuals or teams. I highly recommend anyone who loves to dance to become familar with this company. Their attitudes are the best and they work very well with young children as well as teenagers. I would just like to say "Thank You" to Leslie for giving us such a wonderful choreographed routine!!! We will definitely be using them in the near future. All the girls of both teams would like to say hello, and cant wait to see you again soon!!! Thanks again for all you have done for the our girls."
