Myles and Tessa are veteran Canadian West Coast Swing Champions and multi-time Showcase division champions known for their cutting-edge artistic choreography, innovative and high-risk acrobatics, and enviable musical expression.
Based in Vancouver, Myles and Tessa have been ambassadors for West Coast Swing, touring globally to teach, judge, perform, choreograph, and train teachers.
As master teachers, they’ve combined Myles’ intense and varied dance background with both solo and partner dance with Tessa’s academic background in Kinesiology, Education, and Coaching to create the Swing Literacy Development Method, which provides training programs to help dancers train smarter and teachers teach smarter, regardless of their chosen style.
Myles & Tessa are strong supporters of history education in Swing and crossover training, and have a soft spot for Blues music, vernacular jazz steps, and Balboa.
