Sunny Hills High School
Dance Department

Hello! I am Leiana Volen, the dance director at Sunny Hills. I have lived in Southern California my entire life, where I grew up dancing and training in various styles of dance. I was a competitive and professional dancer for over twenty years but found my true passion in teaching and choreography. I received my Bachelor's of Arts in Communications; Advertising and Single-Subject Teaching Credential from California State University, Fullerton and my Master's of Arts in Dance and Education from California State University, Long Beach.

Here at Sunny Hills, we offer a comprehensive dance program that caters to all levels of dance ability. Students will gain a high level of knowledge about dance, dance history, choreography and performance. Students will also become aware of the importance of nutrition and fitness for maintaining a healthy body and mind. Most importantly, our dance program allows students to discover and develop their dance skills, artistic expression and passion while performing in professional dance concerts and preparing them for college and careers in dance. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Go Lancers!
