Nashville native Lesley Moore gets her can-do attitude from her mom, who single-handedly raised her daughter after the death of her husband when Lesley was only three. Lesley started singing and dancing at age four, and she appeared in many commercials and music videos before joining Jump5. "Being on stage is home to me," says Lesley. "I get a lot of energy from the audience." Until last year, Lesley attended public school, and was very active in cheerleading, basketball, gymnastics, ballet, tap, jazz and hip hop dancing. But nothing beats her experience with Jump5. "I'm having so much fun," says Lesley. "My friends and family keep me grounded." Traveling is one of the fringe benefits of being in Jump5, according to Lesley. "I love to see the sights in this country," she says. "I love to hear the different accents. Of course, I don't think I have one, but other people say I sound so country!" Most important for Lesley is sharing her enthusiasm and hopeful spirit with kids everywhere. "We want to send out a positive message," she says. "That message is: have fun, live your dreams, and never give up."
