Leapinglegs's Bio

Stacey is the Founder and Director of Leaping Legs Creative Movement Programs. The focus of Leaping Legs is to help people regardless of age, experience or ability, become educated about their movement potential, develop kinesthetic awareness, and become more physically fit and healthy together as a family, and community. Leaping Legs promotes its goal through its original Up Down & All Around DVD, teacher training, and school and community workshops. The Up Down & All Around DVD received Dr. Toy’s 100 Best Children’s Products 2009 Award and 10 Best Active Products 2009 Award. The DVD has also been featured in many magazines including Dance Teacher and Dance Retailer News. In its August 2009 issue, Dance Teacher called the DVD “an essential tool for teaching the fundamentals of movement with daily adult-child interactions.”
Before founding Leaping Legs, Stacey was a dancer, choreographer and dance educator. She choreographed Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris and The Song of Singapore at Capital Repertory Theatre, NY. Stacey was the Movement Coordinator for The Downtown Messiah at The Bottom Line Theatre in NYC, the assistant choreographer for the Broadway show Jackie: An American Dream, assistant choreographer/assistant director for Tintypes at the Hartford Stage and Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, CA and the Bellboy understudy and choreographer’s intern on the Broadway show Titanic. She was also the Dance Captain for the Broadway Workshop Swing!

As a dance educator, Stacey toured her original children’s ballet The Magic Wand to New Jersey preschools and elementary schools promoting dance as a powerful medium of expression. Stacey worked in the education department of Capital Repertory Theatre, a regional theatre in New York as the Program Coordinator for various multi-disciplined arts programs for kids ranging in age from 7-13. She was a teaching artist/collaborator with Rensselaer Middle School and Harriet Gibbons High School as part of Capital Repertory Theatre’s Community Partnership, facilitating the integration of the arts into the curriculum as well as addressing the NY State Standards. She has also taught in private dance studios for over 15 years.

Stacey received her BFA in Dance Performance at Montclair State University and her MA in Dance Education from Teachers College, Columbia University. She now resides in New England with her husband and daughter.
