She received her technical dance training at Salt Lake Dance Center in Salt Lake City and Utah Valley University in Orem Utah.
While at Salt Lake Dance Center she was a member of their award-winning competitive dance program as well as their pre-professional Christmas production where she was selected for many lead roles.
For three years, Leikin stayed busy as a cheer captain at Olympus High school. She was also a two-year member of her high school's dance company.
Along with getting a dance degree at Utah Valley University, she earned a bachelor of science degree in kinesiology from the University of Utah.
Leikin has taught dance for fourteen years in ballet, jazz, contemporary, acro, musical theater, modern, lyrical, hip-hop, and tap.
Many of her team competition dances and soloists received top awards at dance competitions and conventions. Her routines have won many best choreography awards, judge's choice awards and consistently placed in the top 3.
