Hello! Welcome to the LeoLine family. I’m Hailey Ussery, the creator of LeoLine.

Born in Minnesota, I started dancing at age two. Our family moved to Montana when I was five years old and I continued my training there. As I got older, I trained at and was accepted to different summer intensives such as Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet, Boston Ballet, and Ballet West, eventually attending Ballet West Academy year round.

As an adult, I managed many different businesses. Eventually, I moved to Idaho to join my family’s business, JaK*s Place. Over the years, I have gained 10 years of business management experience.

My husband Skyler and I live in Nampa, Idaho with our two dogs, a cat and a little one on the way! Skyler and I went to high school together in Montana, never crossing paths until later in life. We now operate JaK*s together and are celebrating our 3rd year of marriage. I am thankful to get to work with my husband as well as my parents.

I am the ballet director of Xpressions Dance Academy, where I teach ballet, hip hop, jazz, and contemporary, and direct our Performance Company. I also offer private lessons, which led to the creation of LeoLine.

I was working one on one with a dancer, and after taping her leotard on the side, I saw instant results in spinal alignment. She engaged her lower and upper abdominals and was able to finally understand what I wanted her to feel! I thought… How do I get this onto every kid?!

With easy to see visuals sewn into the leotard design, children of all ages can easily see the corrections teachers are asking for, and can engage the right muscles to do so!

Our students have since seen instant results in muscle development, muscle memory, pirouettes, turn out, plies and more!

I am so excited to bring LeoLine Leotards to you all. Whether you are an individual who wants to improve your capabilities, or you are a studio director like myself who wants to bring education to all in your classroom! I look forward to getting to know you all. Thank you for your support.
