Augie Sweethearts: Leslie Kane and Grant Bell, Class of 2015

Submitted by Leslie Kane of Lemont, Ill.

Grant and Leslie met in the very first class of the very first day of freshman year. Leslie knew that Grant was smitten when he agreed to attend a dance lesson at Martini Swingers. Grant knew that Leslie reciprocated those feelings when she agreed to go on a run with him. Grant knew nothing about dancing and Leslie hated running, but both were willing to leave their comfort zones to pursue something amazing.

While Leslie's running career was short-lived, the dancing continued and the two taught dance lessons in the Carriage House together for the next three years. Their Sundays were spent Waltzing, Swinging, Salsa-ing and Tango-ing away. But of all the dances and showcases they have been a part of, these two dance partners look forward to their most exciting dance yet at their wedding next winter.
