Kaleigh Smith

INSTRUCTOR

Kaleigh began dancing at Kickit Dance Studio at the age of four and has since trained in a wide variety of styles, including ballet, jazz, contemporary, lyrical, tap, acro, Bollywood, musical theatre, and hip hop. Since 2021, she has focused her training primarily on hip hop, developing a deep love for the style.

Throughout her years at Kickit, she has competed at multiple competitions and has been recognized with scholarships and awards. She is also a member of the hip hop crew Sikat, with whom she has competed at hip hop competitions across Canada. Beyond performing, she has travelled throughout the country to take classes from renowned choreographers, further expanding her knowledge and passion for the art form.

As she has transitioned from dancer to assist and now into teaching/choreographing, Kaleigh has become especially passionate about sharing her love of dance with the next generation. Her teaching style focuses on inspiring confidence, creativity, and growth in her students. Outside the studio, she loves to travel—most recently backpacking through Southeast Asia for three months—and looks forward to many more adventures both in dance and in life.
