"When compared to other top-ranked professional dancers who teach, Myles & Tessa are head and shoulders above the crowd. Their ability to break down complicated technique and make it accessible even to beginners is unparallelled. And their classes are always refreshingly entertaining!" -Ken & Angela
Professional dancers are artists. They are masters of their medium. Professional teachers are technicians. A technician needs training and certification to do their job properly. Not all artists make good technicians. Unfortunately it is rare to find good dancers who are also good teachers.
With Myles' extensive dance training and Tessa's extensive teaching training, we have this unique combination. Please don't let what you see us produce on the floor scare you! ;) We are just artists trying to progress the dance and perform at the cutting edge of our art form. But generally, dancing is a social activity. It is not expected that social dancers will have to dance the way we do in order to improve or progress in their own dancing.
The earlier in your dance experience you are exposed to our technical instruction, the better. In a private or group setting, what we offer students is a more effective way to learn to move your body. Because of our years of experience and wide spectrum of ability, we are able to breakdown complicated skills that would otherwise take years of training to master. We are able to give our students access to technique and strategies not readily available from most instructors. We can help you create new possibilities in your dancing, at your own level, and in your own style. Save yourself some time and money by learning in the most efficient way possible.
