LEIGH VANDERLAND
Cutie Director

Instructor: Acro, Jazz, Hip Hop, Strength & Conditioning, Stretch, Ballet, Musical Theatre, Tap & more

​Leigh is a lifelong dancer who began at the age of six and in her subsequent 25 years of experience, has achieved many commendations and awards both personally and for her students. A mother of three, (two who already aspires to dance) Leigh looks forward to exciting and motivating all her SWS students!

At 6, Leigh began her studies under the precise focus of Cynthia Helmer and continued with her until the age of 19, learning to teach and impart her wisdoms along the way and continuing to instruct and choreograph beyond her own competitive life.

She has won awards herself in many styles of dance, including: Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Contemporary, Lyrical and Hip Hop. Leigh also received Honours and Distinction in her R.A.D. ballet exams from pre-primary to intermediate level.
Some of those achievements include: 1st overall soloist, A.D.A. (American Dance Awards), winning various choreography awards and was the recipient of the “Be Discovered” dance scholarship and the “New York City” scholarship following “Be Discovered” in L.A. 


As an instructor/ choreographer Miss Leigh is well known for her exceptional talent and passion for young children. Leigh Cuties groups have been proud to go undefeated throughout the competitive season. Her results speak for themselves- earning students; Highest Novice Mark from the entire competition, 1st Overall in categories, Specialty awards, Best Choreography Awards/personal speeches from judges for her spectacular talents and MUCH MORE!
However, her talents do not stop with students at younger ages!
In 2022 Leigh took her SWS Babies who are now junior and choreographed them a routine called “Teen Spirit”. Together as a team their work between students and teacher/choreographer earned the 2022 Rhythm Dance Junior Cup! ​OUTSTANDING!
At Step with Style we are a tight knit family. Miss leigh embodies this whole heartedly.
If you have ever heard or seen Miss Leigh teach you know that she absolutely loves what she does. In her eyes all the students are her babies. Her love for our children is heartwarming and we simply couldn’t live without our Miss Leigh. <3
