Although dance is not new to him, Leandro Glory Damasco Jr., commonly known as just Leon, is excited to be dancing with Dangerous Lorraines for the first time. His dance endeavors started way back in middle school where he learned to breakdance and move in the art of hip-hop. It was only when entering his sophomore year at Laguna Creek High School that Leon was exposed to more styles of dance. Leon auditioned and made it into Infinite Motion and danced with them for three years while being a student director and choreographer. After graduating in 2006, Leon continues to move, dancing with Eukinetics for two years under the directorship of Melissa Bramham and Dawn Miller. In addition, he would then choreograph ballroom for several cotillion performances.
While entering his first year at Sac State, Leon joined the Sacramento Ballroom Company under Amy Farhood and danced with for about a year. It was in the
beginning of his sophomore year that Leon wanted to dance even more and was then exposed to Sac State's Dance Department, in which he performed for Sac State Dance Alliance and the Faculty Dance Concert over fall semester. Currently, Leon is also dancing with C.O.R.E Dance Collective under the directorship of Kelli Leighton for his very first time. Known for aerial movement, Leon is never afraid to try new things and strives to learn and be efficient at every dance genre.
