He learned dancing from his elder brother Shaheem Sanchez Burns, who is a deaf dancer and danced by feeling the virbration of the sound. His sister Savannah Burns is a dancer too. Leon wanted to be an other creation of Shaheem, so his brother had huge imprint on his dance style and Kida appreciates that. When he was four years old he started competing in dance battles. When he was six his mother pushed him to dance by being a part of a parade.
