biography:

Leanne De Souza grew up in Brampton, ON, and currently lives in London, ON, where she works as an elementary French teacher. Her passion for dance began at the age of 8 at Erinvale School of Dance, where she trained primarily in ballet, pointe, jazz, and lyrical. Leanne continued to expand her repertoire as a dance major throughout high school, including new styles of contemporary, modern, commercial, and hip hop. While attending Western University, she continued to pursue her passion by joining recreational teams such as Hip Hop Western and Dance Force.

Leanne’s journey with O.N.E. Dance Centre began in March 2022 with her first class, and she has been training there ever since, focusing on Commercial, R&B, and Hip Hop. She has been an active member of several training teams, including PROTOTYPE and La Compagnie de Danse. Leanne is extremely grateful for the inclusive and supportive environment at O.N.E., which fosters creativity and allows dancers to share their stories. She takes pride in being part of a community that celebrates individuality and provides a safe space for artistic exploration and growth.
