Lekeisha Walton is a captivating dancer of natural talent, using her gift with the joy of a child and the fight of a warrior. As a late bloomer, she started her dance career at the age of 17 at South Atlanta High School, where she was chosen as captain solely from one dance audition performance. Shortly afterwards, opportunities to choreograph, instruct, teach and perform locally, nationally and internationally with cheer and dance became available. While continuing her pursuit for dance, she’s been graced to not only be on stage, but work behind the scenes with costume design, creating music, and graphic design, make up artistry, styling, organizing and planning dance productions and performances. She established Stretch Dance Company (located in Tyrone, GA) in 2011 to truly represent dance from the heartbeat of her vision. As the Dance Director, her aim is for every student to dance distinctively, passionately and authoritatively, allowing their gifts to make room for them. "You were born to dance” is the motto used for Stretch Dance Company. She believes we were all created to worship in various forms, including dance.
