Tessa’s academic background started with competitive swimming, where she received National Coaching Certification, created a Coach Training Program, graduated from UBC with a Bachelor of Kinesiology, and started an Olympic-track coaching career, all before returning to school to complete her Bachelor of Education. Tessa has been professionally practicing physical education, movement analysis, and pedagogy for the past 30 years, and this constant training in “how to teach” was the other huge factor that allowed Myles and Tessa to create such a powerful and effective program (Swing Literacy).
Myles brings a classical dance training background, 6 UCWDC World Championship titles, Karate, Wing Chun Kung Fu, Jiu-Jitsu, golf and motorcycle racing to the table, and considers himself an eternal student of manipulating kinetics for sport and artMyles is so passionate about improving his craft, he literally has a tattoo that reads, “Technique prevents the body from limiting the soul’s expression”. His studies in all of these non-dance fields, along with being classically trained and studying the inner workings of over 14 different dances, is a huge part of what made it possible for him and Tessa to create Swing Literacy.

No! There will be a mix of couples and singles. No partner required.
WCS is a social dance, meaning everyone dances with everyone for one song at a time, so you switch partners constantly during the class. But if you have specific concerns, you can stay together if necessary.
We are excited to welcome you! This workshop will be a nice express way to convert your existing skills and learn the rules of the West Coast Swing game.
Dress casual, no need to be formal. You'll want to choose something you can raise your arms in comfortably. It's a good idea to bring a second shirt to change into just in case you get too sweaty. Ladies tend to wear pants, not skirts, and flats are better than heels.Shoes: any that are not too bulky or grippy.
Then this is perfect for you! Everyone has to start somewhere! You will be among a few hundred new dancers who feel the same way you do.
