LEANNE MUSICK
LeAnne followed her passion for dance since childhood. In middle school & high school, she danced with teams. Starting at 15 years old, LeAnne kept a journal of her hopes, dreams & aspirations.
Nurturing hopes of dancing professionally, she made it through rounds of being a dancer with Beyoncé’s live tour before deciding that becoming the best parent that she could be to her young daughter was more important.
LeAnne earnestly pursued her dream of starting a dance studios that would be a safe haven and creative outlet for children. In 2008, that dream became reality with the opening of Musick Studios at 411 East 2nd Street in Owensboro KY. Starting with 75 dancers during the first season, the studio has grown to a roster of 500 for 2017-2018 dance season.
LeAnne continues to place God, family and children before herself. This formula fuels her aspirations and success.

Jessica’s love for tap started at age 4. She was literally born to tap! Her grandmother put her in tap because she would never stop moving her feet and was often reprimanded for fidgeting. Originally from California, Jessica trained in Jazz, Ballet & Tap at North County Dance Arts, under the direction of Lewis and Tanya McKay. Jessica moved to Owensboro at the age of 12 and stepped away from structured/classroom style lessons, but her love and knowledge for tap never left her. Though not in a classroom setting, she continued to practice her craft. Jessica’s proactive approach landed her as Musick Studios first ever Tap Instructor. She has created our Tap Program from the ground up.
Jessica also has a passion for photography, videography and editing. She has used her skills to jump start Musick Studios social media presence, After teaching Tap and doing Social Media for a year Jess jumped at the position of Office Manager when that oppertunity came about.
