Leon "Kida" Burns Biography

Leon Akida Burns, widely recognized by his stage name "Kida the Great," stands out as a remarkably talented 21-year-old American hip-hop dancer, actor, and choreographer hailing from Sacramento, California. Kida's journey to fame began with the viral success of his Instagram dance videos, showcasing his incredible moves to popular hip-hop tracks like "OG Bobby Johnson" and "Cut It" by O.T. Genesis, among others. The pinnacle of his early success came in 2016 when he secured the title of America's Favorite Dancer in the 13th season of "So You Think You Can Dance."

Kida's introduction to the world of dance happened at a tender age of four, under the guidance of his older brother Shaheem, who is deaf. Today, Kida is an integral part of several outstanding dance groups, including "Family First Crew," a family-generated crew spearheaded by Kida himself, as well as "The Art of Teknique" and "Chapkidz," both of which boast the title of HHI World Champions. Not stopping there, Kida has also established his own crew, "New Generation," which he personally selected and groomed to perfection.

Following the advice of his late father, who remains a significant motivator despite his passing in 2014, Kida lives by the motto "Keep praying, keep planning, keep pushing." In the face of personal loss, Kida triumphed on the internet with a battle that garnered millions of views, solidifying his presence as a viral sensation on social media. With 4.5 million organic followers, Kida's posts are reshared by thousands of fans globally, showcasing the widespread appeal of his dance prowess and motivational mindset.

Kida's accolades extend beyond social media, with honors such as Most Inspirational Dancer and Best Kid Dancer at the Sacramento Music Festival, as well as solo performances on renowned shows like "The Queen Latifah Show," "The Ellen Show," “Mario Lopez,” and "The Rachel Ray Show." These achievements caught the attention of "So You Think You Can Dance" producers, propelling Kida further into the spotlight.

In 2016, Kida's exceptional talent earned him the grand prize of $250,000 as he clinched the title of America's Favorite Dancer. His success didn't stop there, as he shared the stage with Usher at the 2016 BET Awards and secured roles in two Chris Brown music videos in 2017, signaling a promising career ahead.

Adding to his list of accomplishments, Kida has graced the stage and screens alongside industry heavyweights such as Offset, Usher, Busta Rhymes, and many more. These appearances further solidify his status as a sought-after talent in the entertainment world. Recently wrapping up a 39-worldwide tour with Kendrick Lamar, Kida the Great's journey is far from over, promising continued growth, success, and positive impact on the world of dance and beyond.
