Dale Blackheart

Dale Blackheart born as David Leach in Baltimore, MD, is an American dancer, choreographer and artist. He began dancing at an early age and pursued this passion through the years from competing in talent shows to co-captain of his high school dance troop. As a young, black and gay male in Baltimore, there weren’t many opportunities for him to dance freely so he turned to the underground Ballroom community where he mastered the art of vogueing.


For over 10 years Dale has worked with numerous artists such as but not limited to Régine Chopinot, Alexandre Paulikevitch, Saul Williams, Abdu Ali, Andy DeGroat, Zoe Charlton, Earl Orrin, Stephanie Von Aydan and Frédéric Nauczyciel. From these continuing acquaintances and collaborations Dale has been part of numerous original productions such as CUNTender (2012), Legendary (2013) and Singluis et Simul (2020). 

Dale has taught vogue classes of all ages, has been featured in music videos and also has acted, choreographed and performed in live theater shows such as Chocolate Covered Rocky Horror (2015) and Évanescent (2020).
