Leslie "Big Lez" Segar
Dancer, choreographer, fitness specialist, film actress, television and radio personality!

 

Known throughout the Hip-Hop Community and the entire entertainment industry as "Big Lez,"Leslie Segar has built a multi-faceted career that includes work as a dancer, choreographer, fitness specialist, film actress, television and radio personality!

 

Flip through the pages of your entertainment memory book and you'll remember "Big Lez" as the dancer who popularized the "around the way girl" in videos for LL Cool J, Bobby Brown, Mary J. Blige and others. Lez is also the sexy sister with the swinging hips you've seen during the intro of the TV series "Living Single." And if you need more reference, Leslie "Big Lez" Segar was co-host of BET's long running Hip Hop video show, "Rap City"… and was a top rated air personality for popular LA radio station, KKBT/92.3 THE BEAT!! Always busy and constantly on top of her game... Lez recently wrapped up choreography duties for the sellout Iyanla Vanzant World Tour!

 

Busy… busy… always busy are words that best describe Leslie "Big Lez" Segar, however, words like smooth, sultry and sensual are even more descriptive of Ms. Segar. Smooth because her movements are fluid and loose. Sultry and sensual because her choreography holds the viewer's attention. Big Lez's career has multiplied as sure and as fast as her voluptuous body moves. In a recent interview she was called "The Legs of Urban America." Lez says, "I work so hard because I enjoy what I do." "I am grateful for the opportunities because I know what I'm doing now is preparing me for the next step."

 

Leslie "Big Lez" Segar isa native of Queens, New York and a graduate of Springfield College in Boston where she earned a degree in physiology and sports medicine. Lez got her nickname from directors who used it to describe her muscular, athletic physique and grand gymnastic ability. Lez displayed moves typically performed by small-framed persons, yet conquered by a dynamic sized woman. She was nominated for a MTV Award for "Best Choreography in a Music Video" for her work in Mary J. Bliges's "Real Love." She can also be seen as a principal in video hits, "Remember The Time" from Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston's "I'm Every Woman," Bobby Brown's "Humpin' Around," and others. Even Oprah Winfrey has called on "Big Lez" to teach her the hottest new moves.

 

Although her hectic work schedule leaves her with little time for anything else, "Big Lez" is not complaining. In fact she is very clear about the sacrifices she's making for her career. "Life is too short to sit back and wonder about what might have been," she says…. "I am a big believer of getting things done… and with my abilities, I know I can achieve everything I've set out to accomplish."

 

Leslie "Big Lez" Segar… a woman who truly represents spirit, mind and body!
