Johannah Leach is the Founder and Director of Dance Revelation Studio. She began her dancing training at the age of 9 in St. Louis MO. She moved to Pennsylvania at the age of 15 and studied dance at various schools. At the age of 18-20 she continued her training at Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet in Carilise, PA.

Johannah has trained and competed in Ballet, Jazz, Character Jazz, Hip Hop, Point, Tap and Lyrical. At the age of 20 she gained extensive teaching and choreography experience as an instructor at Studio C in St. Louis, MO.

In November of 2007, Johannah opened Dance Revelation Studio. It began in the basement of her home and quickly grew in just 6 months to over 50 students. Dance Revelation moved to its current building during the spring of 2008. DRS have now grown to over 220 students! Some of these students take multiple classes, which creates over 400 bodies taking classes once a week.

In just 4 years DRS's staff has grown from 2 instructors to 11 instructors. It is important to the staff that each class has 2-3 teachers so that each student can get the "individual" attention they may need.

Leah began her dance training in classical ballet at Degnan Ballet Center, Home of Ballet Northeast in Kingston, PA.  She also trained at four Ballet Magnificate Summer Intensives in Jackson, MS.  Leah is a graduate of Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania with a BA in Dance.  For over a decade, she has trained and performed classical, contemporary, and modern dance.  She has also taught ballet and modern technique, along with choreographing classical, contemporary ballet and modern dance at both Ballet Northeast and Slippery Rock University Dance Theater Company.  "I feel that it is vital to the role of being an excellent dance instructor that students have a sense of safety and confidence in order to accomplish the very best results in expressing their dance practice.  My goals are to impart to eager and passionate dance students the goodness and wisdom of the life of a dancer."
