Note
A regular -s plural that carries every sense of the noun with it: a dancer's leaps across a stage, several leaps of leopards, the figurative leaps forward of progress, and the unjustified leaps in an argument. The same spelling is also the verb's third-person singular (she leaps), so let the sentence decide. A determiner or adjective in front marks the noun, as in her graceful leaps.
