Taiga Kita-Leong is a Japanese–Chinese contemporary dance artist born and raised in Sydney, Australia. Working across contemporary and street dance forms, his practice draws from Hip-Hop and House foundations, merging  street vocabularies with contemporary performance. He refined his training at the Sydney Dance Company Pre-Professional Year program (2020–2021). 

In 2022, Kita-Leong made his professional debut at the Sydney Opera House, performing Ohad Naharin’s DECADANCE with Sydney Dance Company. That same year he began working as an independent artist, touring nationally with The Rivoli by Miranda Wheen for Dance Makers Collective, and appearing as a runway model in Jordan Gogos’s show at Australian Fashion Week. 

His work spans across performance, fashion, film, and commercial projects, collaborating with brands and institutions including Oakley, Hermès, Westfield, Vivid Sydney, SBS, ABC, and Network 10, as well as artists including Harrison Hall, Meryl Tankard, and Sue Healy. 

In 2023, he joined Australasian Dance Collective as a Company Artist, performing works by Amy Hollingsworth, Jack Lister, Hofesh Shechter, Stephanie Lake, Melanie Lane, Jenni Large, and Alisdair Macindoe. 

In 2025, Kita-Leong toured internationally across Europe performing Bad Nature, a collaboration between Australasian Dance Collective and the Netherlands-based company Club Guy & Roni. Later that year, he toured to Hong Kong performing Lucie in the Sky by Amy Hollingsworth.
