Landen Turner

Landen has been dancing for 10 years, training primarily in hip hop and jazz funk. Outside of dance, he has been involved in three sports: baseball, soccer, and cheer. After tearing his ACL in the summer of 2026, Landen has been working hard on his recovery and is determined to return stronger than ever.

His love for dance started at just 4 years old when he discovered “Just Dance,” and that passion has continued to grow ever since. Landen has always been described as an old soul, with a love for music from legends like Elvis Presley, Prince, Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, and Elton John. One of his favorite shows is The Andy Griffith Show, which definitely adds to his old-soul personality!

As a dancer, Landen looks up to artists like Bruno Mars and Michael Jackson and admires their talent, performance, and individuality. Landen has been part of the Diamond Dance Works family for 10 years, making DDW the only studio he has ever danced at. He especially loves being surrounded by fellow dancers and the sense of community that comes with being part of a dance studio.

What Landen is most excited about with this opportunity is the chance to inspire younger dancers and help them discover the same passion and love for dance that he has had since he was little.
